Hearts and hope shattered by the pain
Only wishing that we could gain
Some time to realign our thoughts
To help us get through this cluttered time
That seems to have more dark days than bright
And more tears of grief than of joy
The moments pass by as we sit all alone
The belief in a better tomorrow slowly fading away
And the awareness that there will never be a perfect life appearing from the fog
As more and more unwanted news strikes the world
And yet another surprise comes each time we look the other way
With the blink of an eye another tragedy takes over
As we cannot even see past the clouds
To see the sunlight waiting ahead
Each day it seems to be worse than before
And just when we think we have witnessed the most dreadful of times
One more terrible event occurs as if it is the domino effect
And we are stuck in a never ending line
That seems to extend into another lifetime
And goes right through forever and into always
