Why does my heart feel so painfully heavy

And my tears like they will never cease?

Why do I ache when I should feel at peace?

Nothing seems to make any more sense.

Something peculiar grows inside me

So deep within that I cannot see it,

But I can feel it like a barbed wire fence,

Wrapped tightly around my chest

Roses come and then disappear

But they always come again next year,

And whether the time is summer or winter

I always think of them with gladness,

So why do I feel this sudden sadness?

Why does the winter seem so long?

I know you’ll return in a little while,

So why do I cry instead of smile

Every moment while I wait

For winter to turn into spring

When the flowers start reappearing

In all their enchanting magnificence?

But when a gentle wind dries every tear

I’ll know at last that spring is here,

And this strange pain will go away

And I’ll be walking in a dream

The happiest I’ve ever been
