This life is most jolly!!!

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.



Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly."


This is an amazingly simple poetry by William Shakespeare.
When I read this there is only one thing that comes to mind -
LIVE! For you have just one earthly life...
LIVE! For there may be no tomorrow...
LIVE! For LIFE is most jolly...

This poem inspires us all to look in the face of adversity and still have the strength to urge oneself to put a brave face... and to stay happy!

Stay HAPPY! God Bless!

Cheers,
TLT
