Tell me not, with painful crying
We are all walking the same
For though we both will be dying
Our paths refuse to be tame
Give yourself to help your other
Then in time you help yourself
Give your love to help your brother
And sister will give themselves
Do not be afraid of life
For what you fear is pain
But if you never go through strife
Then you’ll have nothing to gain
Pass each day with calm
Smile and share your hand
For your care may be the balm
That they need to feel grand
Life is severe! Life is hurtful!
But that is what fulfills our hearts
Strife and pain are sacrificial
Peace and love can shine like quartz
