For the Greater Good
The way that was down
When you walk sadly.
Much remorse
From the crown down
To the belly bump.
Sad ways,
Tears fell,
But a joy and laughter
Sprang from disaster.
The spirit.
The crown that is worn
From tears a legacy is born,
Just like tears of extreme joy,
Tears of extreme pain
Create a change in character
For the greater good.
