I’ll be sad

The empty garden makes me feel so sad

I feel I can’t endure the pain of loss

I feel ashamed  I fear that I am bad

Who can help me carry this great cross?

Unless our heart is empty what can come?

And yet I am afraid mine will be bare

It is not wise to make emotions numb

And then pretend we do not even care.

If your heart is open love can see 

And if it’s closed you are a barren site

Yet dogs that have been kicked are never free

The blind can never see the light

Life is bitter, Life is sweet, Life is a pain.

So I’ll be sad until joy comes again
