Tim Ryerson Poet Kyrielle

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
