Category: the year in haiku

There will be failure,
This is inevitable;
Look for the lesson.

Your health is your wealth
To be treated with respect
Regardless of age

True courage is found
In facing life’s challenges
Regardless of fear

Persist and resist;
The stoic’s chosen pathway.
Simple, and yet not

A pause, to take stock.
In much need of reminding
That focus is key

Noon, and frost remains.
Paws gallop on the crisp grass,
Chasing nose to tail

Remain encouraged;
Much good to be thankful for,
Despite the slip ups

Face adversity, 
And notice hidden therein
Opportunity

To spend a moment
In quiet contemplation;
A most precious gift

Strive to be better;
A spirit of selflessness
Will ensure progress

Acknowledge this fact:
The body is a temple;
Honour it with love

The mind is precious;
Appreciate it fully
While you are able

Life is what you learn
As you face the challenges,
And what you become

Do with certainty;
Try, and you admit defeat,
Failure is assured

Wavering spirits;
The struggle is unending,
No option to fail.
