Sorrow

Tarrie Simpson 1976 (Indiana)

Why do we feel pain and sorrow,
As if there is no tomorrow?
Our moods change just like the seasons,
Yet we tend to find the reason.
The memories never shy away,
With love in our hearts every day.
We find it hard to fight the tears,
As we live throughout the years.
Your beautiful smile keeps us going,
Sometimes without us knowing.
May your light upon us beams,
Until we meet in our dreams.
