Life's Joy And Sorrow

LOUISE QUINN 1944 (Waycross)

Life is full of joy and sorrow.
If you can not bear the pain
You will not embrace the joy.
The past is just a stairway
To tomorrow encircling
All the ages with changing
Dreams that move in
And out of time.
We know no boundary
In the souls great presence,
Only the light of God's
mercy and love
