Doing What is Right

When we think of how much we love to fight,
We do not stop our act, but we go on,
to know yet to ignore what is just right—
is still a battle. Why haven't we won?

It is easy to look the other way.
We walk. We do not stop the way of wrong.
But if it continued, we will decay.
Weak hearts and minds, weakness and nothing strong.

It is easy to grumble, and to fuss,
to find the ways that make us fall apart.
But think about the blood that runs in us.
We're one, we're same. It runs in our heart.

We must remember life is wonderful.
Enjoy it like the flowers basketful.



Which pair of lines from the sonnet above is a couplet?

A.
We must remember life is wonderful./ Enjoy it like the flowers basketful.
B.
When we think of how much we love to fight, / we do not stop our act, but we go on,
C.
We're one, we're same. It runs in our heart. / We must remember life is wonderful.
D.
It is easy to grumble, and to fuss, / to find the ways that make us fall apart.
