You Can'T
You can’t have sun without some rain.
You can’t have joy without some pain.
You can’t have loss without some gain;
That’s just the way things go.
You cannot win unless you try.
You cannot laugh until you cry.
You cannot soar unless you fly;
Experience will show.
You can’t connect without some doubt.
You can’t have growth without some drought.
You can’t keep in what must come out,
For ebb gives way to flow.
