Life Laughs, Death Waits

That which thought wrought yesterday
may befuddle us now

but with the coming of a good day 
lives can survive the morrow

though the mind be confused
and heart sickened

the sun will rise still 
and some beleaguered souls

in their final resting place will lie
and greet the dark with peace.
