It Is Only Saying Something

It is only saying something most of are aware
That few go through life without some cross to bear
And though your biggest sorrow compared to the sorrows of some does seem small
You are one who has experienced grief after all
It is only time itself that does bring relief
To sorrow that gives rise to periods of grief
The burden of grief eased in the shedding of tears
And though the memories of loss remain grief is healed by the years
Those who have known of sorrows one does come to realize
With those who grieve for their loss can empathize
In life there is many an up and a down
And some of the happiest people on their side of the town
In their past of some sorrow they may have known
It is true that in sadness the seeds of contentment can be sown.
