Sadness is not a weakness, but a testament to the strength of the human heart,
A sign that we've experienced loss, that we've been torn apart,
It's a heavy weight that we must bear,
A burden that we all must share.
For sadness comes to us all,
Sometimes it's sudden, sometimes it's a slow crawl,
But when it hits, it's hard to bear,
It's a feeling that we cannot repair.
It can come in many different ways,
A lost love, a shattered dream, or just the weight of the days,
It can consume us, body and soul,
And leave us feeling empty, with a gaping hole.
But sadness is not something to fear,
It's something that we should hold near,
For it's a sign that we're alive,
That we've loved and that we've strived.
It's a testament to our strength,
That we can endure the pain at length,
And still find ways to carry on,
To rise above the sadness and to forge on.
For even in the darkest night,
There's always hope, there's always light,
And though our hearts may be filled with sorrow,
We'll find a way to face tomorrow.
We'll find solace in a kind word,
In a friend's embrace, in a songbird,
In a sunset's fiery glow,
In the memories that we'll always know.
We'll find beauty in the world around,
In the smallest joys that can be found,
In the laughter of a child at play,
In the sun's warmth on a winter day.
And though the sadness may still linger,
We'll find a way to let our hearts sing,
To embrace life with all its highs and lows,
And find the strength to rise above our woes.
For sadness is not a weakness, but a testament to our might,
A sign that we've lived and loved with all our might,
And in the end, it's the love that we've given and received,
That truly makes our lives a success and a treasure to be believed.
