On Adversity's Wings
-
By Diane Bertrand
-
Would you understand joy
-
If you'd never know pain?
-
Could you recognize sunshine
-
If you'd never seen rain?
-
-
Would laughter mean less
-
If you'd never known sorrow?
-
Would today mean more
-
If you had no tomorrow?
-
-
Would the day be as bright
-
If you'd never known night?
-
If it never were dark,
-
Would you comprehend light?
-
-
Could you learn to love goodness
-
Without any bad?
-
Appreciate happy
-
If you're never sad?
-
-
Adversity brings with it
-
All kinds of things;
-
Most surprising, I think
-
Are the heaven-bound wings.
