We all have our shit,
Though some we cover,
We cover with sugar.
We all have those days
Where we think oh bugger.
What would we do without,
Without our sugar?
Sometimes the sky in our heart
Feels gloomy and grey.
Remember I pray.
It can't be grey every,
Every day.
Come what may we should try to go,
To go on.
We'd learn not one thing without going through shit,
Probably be a ignorant twit,
If we had none.
So remember everyone, no matter how loud,
Everyone, no matter how proud,
Whether they do or don't
Stand out in the crowd,
They've all had their own grey cloud.
The sun always shines in some small way.
Take that in your heart
And get through the day.
Sometimes it's the only,
The only way.
"If you love light, one day you will suddenly recognise that darkness is nothing but a phase of light, a resting phase of light." Osho
