Good Times and Hard Times

No laugh without tears
No calm without fears
No justice without crimes
Good times and hard times

No clean without stain
No relief without pain
Confusion breeds rhymes
Good times and hard times

No profit without cost
No found without lost
Cold winds ring the chimes
Good times and hard times 

Thus I learn to rejoice
When your soft and low voice
And smile redefines
Good times and hard times

Simple beautiful, Tim...in truth and wisdom...having someone to share those good and bad times makes the bad times bearable and the good times, really good. Thanks for the visit and for writig this. This should bring hope to many of us who sometimes get overwhelmed by our circumstance. Have a great week! Love, Annalise
