No one was promised skies always blue Nor bright sunny days all our lives through Not even the angels are sheltered from pain Observing our dramas, they watch with disdain The delicate jonquils must suffer the storm Blown by wind's tempest, tattered and torn Bears with a craving, submit to the sting To taste the sweet treasure, the honey bees bring Kings are dethroned for the love of a maiden Trading their titles for souls passion laden Traitors are hung for the secrets they steal Proselytes slain for refusing to kneel To be in your presence, gossip endured To steal your sweet kisses, whispers ensured To be in your arms, others will cry To feel all your charms, a wagered goodbye We know in advance, no promises are made We live with the outcome, we barter and trade Amid todays pain and yesterdays sorrow Taking the chance for a better tomorrow ~ |
