Happy Ending?

Happy Ending?

There are no happy endings.

Ending are the saddest part,

Just give me a happy middle

And a very happy start.

Years From Now

Years From Now

Although I cannot see your face

As you flip through these poems awhile,

Somewhere from some far-off place

I hear you laughing - and I smile

The Clock Man

The Clock Man

"How much will you pay for an extra day?"

The  clock man asked the child.

"Not one penny," the answer came,

"For may days are as many as smiles."

"How much will you pay for an extra day?"

He asked when the child was grown.

"Maybe a dollar or maybe less,

For I've plenty of days of my own."

"How much will you pay for an extra day?"

He asked when the time came to die.

"All of the pearls in all of the seas,

And all of the stars in the sky."

- Shel Silverstein
