Dim or Brightly by Maria Terezia FerenczLeaning close to her she whispered
my love welcome to the world
a place so full of wonder
of joys that can't be told
Lovely as this place can be
so full of happiness and joy
I am afraid to now confess to thee
there is also misery
for every time you smile
you will frown a full three times
and every burst of laughter
will be followed with a sigh
measure out the worth of joy
weigh it against the pain
find a way to happiness
overlook the shame
life is no doubt beautiful
yet easy it is not
there will always be for thee
crossings that are hard
Look not at the darkness
or it may swallow you entirely
always look towards the light that shines
no matter how dim or brightly 01/22/2006 Posted on 01/23/2006 Copyright © 2024 Maria Terezia Ferencz
