Behind Everything

There is always a sorry story
behind every glowing  glory, 

there is alway a rugged rain 
behind every golden grain, 

there is always a painful presure 
behind every terrific  treasure, 

there is always a wonderful woman 
behind every  meaningful man,

These is always a glorous God
behind every wholesome world.
