They Are A Rare Breed

They are a rare breed indeed very rare
Who in life have never had a cross to bear
Who never in life have shed tears of loss
As most have been burdened with some sorrow cross
Though grief is a thing that can linger with one for years
It is said of it that it can be healed by tears
Sorrow is a thing that most people have known
And your sorrows though shared do remain as your own
Most people of life have sad stories to tell
Each time i hear the tolling of a funeral bell
I know for the family and friends of the deceased this is a sad day
That life has it's good and it's bad days only true for to say
And they are a rare breed indeed very rare
Who in life have never had a cross to bear.
