Sesheta's 21 Days of Poetry Challenge II

Of Sesheta

Let me tell you a few things
If Sesheta you would know
Almost nothing made her colder
Than the sight of falling snow

She focused on the positive
Though some things brought her down
She tried to help others smile
Whenever she was around

She tried to see the world
She traveled far and wide
She had many friends and family
Who stood close by her side

Think of her and know
That all knowledge is worth having
That regrets will leave you bitter
That only fear is worth fearing

That love can make you cry
But friends will bring you laughter
In the middle of the night
And for many years thereafter

Know this then, of the old woman,
With the scattering of her ashes
Now she’s of the river, tumbling the pebbles,
Let only laughter bring tears past your lashes.
