more than through our joy
our moments of happiness
too easy let go of maybe
holding onto sorrow
to the lessons we learn
we hold onto, we remember,
our challenges somehow
seeing through our sadness
a new truth, reality
grist for the mill, hunger
we grow, we change,
sight in new struggle
growing new eyes
vision from experience
the best teacher
able to see further
a deeper understanding
seeing through our sadness
the truth of God, His power
the grace of our Savior, His sacrifice
