"all things are not simple
as in life we all know
we are at the mercy
of our loving lord
who gives and takes
who sees and yet is blind
to the tortured hearts
that he leaves behind

we ask for only a good day
when we will suffer no pain
that day be the day
we are put to rest
but until then we must
inhale all of life's best
bear all our burdens
without much stress

remember the beauty
that lies in the suffering
as we bare our burdens
and feel life's thorns
it is a comfort to know
that i am not alone
in my love for the unknown"
