I did NOT write this poem!!! A guy named Paul Laurence Dunbar did. I found this poem and instantly fell in love with it! so I had to share it with you guys.

A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,

A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,

A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,

And never a laugh, but the moans come double;

           And that is life!

A crust and a corner that love makes precious,

With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us,

And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,

And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter;

           And that is life!
