Sonnet

And if any place does not welcome you.
As you walk away shake the dust from your feet.
We may be defeated through and through.
We may view life through drizzly sleet.

Yet we carry on.
And move to the next town.
Life is merely a loan.
We will never know the truth till our soul is full grown.

What you have come to is nothing known to the senses.
Not a blazing fire or gloom turning to total darkness.
We face so many impossible fences.
We are devoid of true frankness.

Yet I will pull through.
And so will you too.

Haiku

We face some fences
Yet still I will pull through too
And so will you too
