For every tear that I've cried, <br />A smile has graced my lips. <br />For every sob that has escaped my mouth; <br />So has a burst of laughter. <br />Every time I have fallen; <br />I have picked myself up. <br /> <br />Without these traits I would be incomplete. <br />After all what would the moon be without the sun? <br />Or night without day. <br />A beautiful voice without singing. <br />Or a beat without dancing? <br />It would be like life without living. <br />A ship without its sails, <br />Or a thought without any expression. <br /> <br />If a door closes, <br />I shall open another. <br />Plant a bulb, <br />And a stunning flower will grow, <br />Water that flower and it will be strong. <br />Strike a match, <br />Light the candle, <br />And let its light shine; <br />Sending the darkness cowering to the corners.<br /><br />Josephine Adrian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/random-thoughts-of-a-late-night/
