It Would Be Different It would be different she said to me And then spoke of her soul’s tragedy Her paths were lost in hopeless mist And she didn’t get her share of bliss So I told her to seek for hope’s light To walk to a future clear and bright If all you see is dark and drear Its no wonder your soul knows only fear It would be different sadly she said If only I knew love wasn’t dead She seemed wrapped in such misery Like a winter’s day lost and lonely So I said to her open your heart Ask love in and not to depart If love lives within you’ll surely see That you will be warm and so happy It would be different she cried bitterly If only I was not treated so cruelly Her eyes overflowed with such tears And her soul was beset by nameless fears Seek faith, I said, it’ll drive out pain And you’ll be happy once again If you cede to sorrow you will see That you can’t witness hope’s victory It should be different, she said so sadly It is different I said victoriously Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

I have to agree with this one whole-heartedly. Some people are sunk so low they can't see up, but if they can only see the sky-they've seen heaven. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
