Sorrow, Dedicated To Victor Buhagiar

It seems this world of sorrow
Shall never ever end
When one mans sorrow fades away
Another then just begins

It seems this world of sorrow
Filling hearts with so much pain
How can one lay comfort
When one has no special refrain

It seems this world of sorrow
Is meant for us too be
The rainbows that may soon follow
Bringing joy, that often I never see

It seems this world of sorrow
That bouquets and flowers can’t quite sooth
For even they shall wilt away
Another tear to bloom

It seems this world of sorrow
Shall never ever end
I wish I had with me heavenly robes
To soak up this sorrow, so it forever ends


Dedicated to Victor Buhagiar
