One thing's for certain <br />I'll have to go, <br />For I've searched in vain <br />For new love to grow; <br />But nothing will befall <br />The tears still come, <br />Like the rain comes for all <br />Though more eager for some. <br /> <br />One thing will perish <br />When true love disposes, <br />What we hold and cherish <br />Like bleeding roses; <br />Anger and dissent <br />My heart is mislead, <br />If to hatred acquaint <br />For it will then bleed. <br /> <br />One thing I'll know <br />That trust will progress, <br />Like seed has to grow <br />Before it's address; <br />I'll open my arms <br />And try to prevail, <br />Though war only harms <br />And makes love stale.<br /><br />Peter S.
