This week the source of our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special are words by Francis of Assisi:
[…] “Remember that when you leave this earth you can taken nothing of what you have received, but only what you have a given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage”. […]
Here’ s my haiku where I tried to stay close to the same mood and spirit:
* * *
white lilies
laying upon the grave
I am not the first
* * *
Watch the Birdie!
