There's a Reason

For every burden that we bear,
For every sorrow, every care,
There’s a reason
For every grief that bows the head,
For every tear-drop that is shed,
There’s a reason
For every hurt, for every plight,
For every lonely pain racked night,
There’s a reason
But if we trust God as we should,
All must work out for our good,
He knows the reason.

A Farewell

Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,
Thy tribute wave deliver:
No more by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.

Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,
A rivulet then a river:
Nowhere by thee my steps shall be
For ever and for ever.

But here will sigh thine alder tree
And here thine aspen shiver;
And here by thee will hum the bee,
For ever and for ever.

A thousand suns will stream on thee,
A thousand moons will quiver;
But not by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
