The Cycle of Life
If there’s a separation now
Take heart,
Because first
there was a union;
If there’s darkness now
Forbear,
Because first
there was light;
If there’s sorrow now
Be patient,
Because first
there was happiness;
If there’s despair now
Rejoice,
Because first
there was hope;
If there’s death now
Celebrate,
Because first
there was life!
