Sorrow

Sorrow fastens upon those who try Happiness evades all those who cry The frailties on which life is weakly built Are felt in the pain of those in conflict Like a lightning strike it hits us hard On the hearts our emotions be charred Nothing stings as of the lovers quarrel It bites to make your nerves do all but disable You feel the pain the deep ocean yearning After a lifetime you continue learning That trust is tender and scarcely earned The numbers are few who sorrows can turn.
