There Are Times

There are times when we don't understand just what it is that is at hand There are times we want to know it all, but only one knows that There are times we feel lost and alone and don't know where we'll land There are times for tears of sorrow that shed until none are left to pat There are times when the depth of despair feels like the power of quicksand There are times when gentle words are like a melody of a soothing band There are times when the solitude of silence is what we must embrace There are times when sweet memories are what we need to chase There are times we sit and wonder when our sorrow will subside There are times we sense the presence of a loved on by our side There are times when burdens appear too difficult to take There are times we must see the sun setting beyond the calm clear lake
