The Return

At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe That the sun will once again shine That's when it seems you do nothing but grieve With all joy being left far behind Still, life has a way of starting anew A gradual moving away From heartaches that linger As heartaches will do If you will allow them to stay As spring returns to the earth every year Bringing all of its beauty in view So merciful time will heal everything Bringing peace of mind back to you Know in your heart that love never dies No matter whatever befalls The only ones who never have tears in their eyes Are those who loved no one at all The greater the love, the greater the loss Still, it's love that makes life worth living Few are the ones who will not bear the cost To have shared in the joy of its giving.
