Blessed Sorrow

Finally, I
Think that I understand why
    The joy and the pain,
     Loss and the gain
Are all part of a bless'd life
     Even the things I hate
     Help me appreciate
All the beauty that I find
     When the valleys are low
     Still this one thing I know
That I'm grateful to be alive.
