Sorrow Cedes When Beauty Takes Its Place

Sorrow cedes when beauty takes its place My soul feeds when fairness greets the eye Warm are golden beams that brush my face When upturned, this countenance to the sky But inside, when out is gusty gale And life has more to give than one can take, There is peace when storms outside prevail Happiness is ours to give or make Seek without when darkness dwells within Look to light when what is not destroys When the veil of life has weathered thin Know that in the end wait treasured joys © by Donna Golden May 21, 2005
