Remembrance !

] "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". [...]   words of St. Francis of Assisi
Today the Haiku is based on the above words of St. Francis of Assisi.


                                                          On old man's demise,
                                                 Crowded humans bestowed blessings.
                                                         Good deeds paid rewards.

    1. This is the irony of life. After a person dies, everybody talks so well of him.
