THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Why do I feel this bad again;

why does it feel as if I’m the one to-slain?

Has time looked down upon me with a frown;

will I one day sing and laugh like a clown?

Staring at the hand dealt to me I must admit its rough;

as I play my cards it seems that love does call my bluff.

Yet, I find in me the will to give and always share a smile;

though I didn’t know it as a youth,

these violent times sowed in me a certain sense of style. 

Many came bearing gifts saying how they loved me;

nevertheless time shows how they’re never meant to be.

Surely I have dreamed of one day hearing the words we...

from the guy who’s unquestionably destined as my love – my he.

At times love may come with a knife;

dark days may try to fill with strife,

nonetheless I know that in this life

I shall one day be loved as a wife.

Today the skies are filled with darkness;

nights sing out their chorus rain.

There is no doubt that this will end with abruptness;

subsiding inevitably will be the pain.

Alone I stand knowing that all this bad shall pass;

more so smiling I will walk this road with class.

Tonight my heart cries as it sits sad and aching;

tomorrow I shall rise never again the winter breaking!

Alone I stand knowing - for sure this too shall pass.

Always I stand knowing, yes – yes... this too shall pass.
