''In the Bitterness of Sorrow There's An Afterglow''
In the bitterness of sorrow there's an afterglow,
a shining aura of everlasting hope
and renewal that begins in rebirth.
To this light which transcends all darkness will I go,
and find a peace and a rest in its scope
and power which bring only abundant mirth.
There's a time for everything: a time for living;
a time for dying; a time for rejoicing;
a time for crying; and a time for giving.
All we are and all we have are what we know,
we find meaning in one another and learn to cope
with the rest together here on this planet Earth.
With what we're given we can do no better and no worse--
this bitterness is both a blessing and a curse.
