Dear Life, I am not cross with you as much as I am startled by you, and as much as I am harried, unable to answer The childlike questions you are asking me.

Dear Life you constantly surprise me. for I didn't imagine that to for me to live, I would have to bear such happiness as much as I have borne pain. And that tonight I if smile or if I cry I have to do that as if I am taking out a loan that has to be repaid in full!

Dear Life if today these eyes are full With tears, I know that tomorrow, tomorrow if it ever comes, would be left pining for these tears that today that I have now suddenly shed in surprise because you, Dear Life, you surprised me
