Happiness and Sorrow

Bam Glass shatters As frail as you are, you are still too strong to go Leave and never come back Hear laughter yet cannot laugh See smiles yet cannot smile You want to leave, a door opens Yet someone's in-front, blocking your way You have to pay, for pain and sorrow are free Happiness, laughter That's what costs You spend half your time Thinking about people, places and things to do Stop you skip a beat A happy time A warm hug It' gone never to return
