Dedicated to my pessimistic friend. You know who you are! (And if you're not sure, you're not her.)


Not all human sorrows are bitter
Falling tears are not always from loss
Some partings are never final
There's always spring after frost

Not every ending means sadness
And sometimes the ashes aren't grey
Dark shadows aren't always evil
When they're formed by the light of the day

Not even all evils are hopeless
For the dark might yet give way to light
Fire might cause great destruction
But only to make way for life

Time stretches on for forever
So everyone who lives must die
Yet still much happiness lingers
Although where is for you to decide
