Those who are sad and listen to the night's song <br />And wait for the sadness to end <br />Know the sadness can never end <br />Even if the song ends many times <br /> <br />Night after night there are so many songs <br />And there is so much sadness <br />But the sadness never ends <br />Though the songs end <br /> <br />Sadness is greater than any song <br />Greater than any night <br />It goes on and on within us <br />Whatever the time and whatever the music <br /> <br />Life is a song of sadness <br />And when life ends <br />Perhaps then the sadness ends <br />But before then <br />Sadness is the song <br />Night and day and always <br />Sadness is the song we sing without end<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-for-singers-who-end-their-song-too-soon/
