There Were So Many Things To Be Said

THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS TO BE SAID There were so many things to be said And so much life to be lived And so much joy to be had And so much music to hear and love And in all this and with all this There was too the pain sorrow regret sadness And all the other most difficult inner stuff But life really life Taken all in all And for all time And without the sickness at the end Hadn’t it been pretty good? Hadn’t it been a blessing You really should thank God for? And thank too so many people Who have given you so much also?
