Comedy or
Tragedy
Comedy or
tragedy,
The spice of
life,
Fruits of our
labor,
Aspirations
of our soul.
Our daily
grind
It lends us
to think,
What makes
you laugh?
What makes
you cry?
Are you
living life as a comedy
Or is this
time we spend a tragedy?
Laugh or cry,
In the end we
all must die,
Now choose:
Happiness in
life
Or a somber
death.

The Girl
There once
lived a little girl. She was pretty and sweet but a sad little
creature. She sat by the pond everyday and kicked her toes in the
cool water. She often cried and let her tears wash away in the pooled
water. One day, as she sat, a tiny fairy floated down and landed on
her knee. The girl was especially distraught and the little fairy
felt sad because of this.
“Sweet
child, why are you so sad?” inquired the fairy.
“Well
fairy, this is the prettiest place I know and thus the only place I
enjoy being. The world is so cruel but not here, not this pond,”
replied the little girl.
“Don't be
sad about this dark world, it'll only make your heart grow hard. You
sit in this pretty pond but all you can think about is your broken
heart. You missed so much while you cried in this pond,” scolded
the fairy.
“Now
fairy, what exactly have I missed? All I see is the sunless sky and
the heartless folks we meet on a day to day basis,” sniffled the
little girl.
“Oh little
angel you have missed so much! Your sky is not sunless but bright and
blue. Over at the edge of the pond are little purple flowers
scattered all along the ground. You even missed the little doe
sitting quietly under that tree,” enthused the fairy.
The girl
looked up from her pouting position and assessed her surroundings.
There were mother birds feeding their babies in pretty nests. Bunnies
were hopping around and playing, sun was sparkling off the pond water
and frogs were jumping off lily pads. She had taken all her
discontent to this impressive piece of land.
“Why fairy
I apologize, I let all the bad pierce me deep inside and ruin how I
see things,” the fairy smiled and hugged the little girls finger
then fluttered off. The little girl watched the fairy play with the
animals and smell all the flowers. The grass was so green and the
water was so clear, she smiled big. She couldn't remember now why the
world had hurt her so much before.
