Sorrow such a blessing is for without it we know not joy
trouble amoung us deigns to walk that triumph to us teach
Despair shall rear it’s ugly head that courage we may mind
and enemies threaten all around that friends we may soon find.

 

Death, that old cheater, thinks us still to claim
and makes with every single breath we take
to pound us down again
All that effort to seize our soul
that is the way of Death
BUT
LIFE, He gives us to our soul and death He gives to Death

Know the joys and the triumphs in your hands to take
courage with each breath I pray
to know of others as good your friends
from across these savage lands.
Cheat the cheater and sink death
far beneath the waves
by accepting LIFE’s blessings strong
and taking the “one” way.

One way means not a single path
but a destination, tis true.
And upon this if you understand
then there shall you go too.

T.D. Aldoennetti
(1997)
