Sorrow Destroyed

Sorrow Was Destroyed


The morning was sad
The sky full of clouds
Heart wept in sorrow
My eyes cried out loud
The wind blew so hard
Sounded just like pain
Leaves fell on sidewalk
And drowned in the rain

Tried hard to be strong
To sing in the sun
Voice was filled with grief
To hide I must run
Snifling child afraid
With tears overflowed
Sorrow I had not known
Nor did I want to know

I knelt in darkness
Sun began to shine 
His touch on my face
Like father of mine
Heart that was heavy
Now filled with much joy
Danced in falling rain
Sorrow was destroyed
