Tenderly Embracing the Fragile Dewdrop of Life

 

The Dewdrop of Life

"Life is but a day,

A fragile dewdrop on its perilous way

From a tree's summit."

John Keats

Handle with Care

"Giddy Grasshopper take care!

Do not leap and crush these pearls of dewdrop."

Kobayashi Issa

Dance Lightly

"Let your life lightly dance

On the edges of time

Like the dew on the tip of a leaf."

Rabindranath Tagore

Dewdrops of Gratitude

"As flowers carry dewdrops,

Trembling on the edges of the petals,

And ready to fall at the first waft of wind or brush of bird,

So the heart should carry its beaded words of thanksgiving;

And at the first breath of heavenly flavor,

Let down the shower,

perfumed with the heart's gratitude."

Henry Ward Beecher

In the Dew of Little Things

"In the sweetness of friendship

Let there be laughter,

And sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of the little things 

The heart finds its morning

And is refreshed.

Khalil Gibran
