Praying For Better Days

When it comes to all my sorrows what do I do with them Do I place them in a paper cup and pour them down the sink Do I take a mallet to them and pound them soft as mink When it comes to all my tears where do I bring them? Do I bring them to the sea to merge with salty smears Do I offer up my wailings to the God above? When it comes to all my sadness what can take them all away? Do I grin and bear it with a grin then walk away on feet of clay or do I pray for better days, hoping that ,He'll lead the way.
