COMPARISON
.
When I think of trials I have withstood
And the many dues I’ve paid
I know I’ve grown in humanhood
And no longer am afraid
To know what I once misunderstood
And struggled to evade:
Hard times have taught me that I could
Overcome any barricade.
.
There were times I felt swallowed by despair
And overcome with hopelessness
I felt my burden was too much to bear
My sea of anguish, bottomless
Yet time did heal and I now can compare
Having felt the depths of distress
Now I am completely aware
Of the true worth of joyousness.
