Payment

"Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow." NIV Jeremiah 31:13

I look, see mass convert to energy
Balance is found for ev'ry force around
Dark storms brew, invite brand new synergy
As harmonic waves flow in light and sound.

Hot sunshine warms high clouds, makes driving rains
Rivers flow into seas; strong winds blow sand
Mountains rise over valleys around plains
Oceans under skies of air surround land

For ev'ry force there is a counter way
As nothing is unbalanced in the whole
And all of night brings light into new day
As day fades into darkness of a soul.

For ev'rything is balanced in God's way
No one escapes sore judgement coming due
For ev'ry joy we find there comes a day
In pain we'll learn the price we pay, anew.

And ev'ry sorrow sent our way is gold
For sorrow pays in pain for joys untold.

Payment.

I suppose I believe that every sorrow is repaid with joy, unless of course, you are the root of the sorrow...very nicely done Newell!

Thank you, Dulcinea. And I believe that only God knows where the true roots of sorrow are as individuals never have enough total knowledge to judge correctly. And all of man's attempts to make rules have only compounded sorrow as rules can never change the heart, where true evil stems from.
