Forever Glad


Only a pure heart could take on the experience of feeling unloved Only a pure heart could uncover the truth Only an old soul would have the strength to survive the neglect a child goes through Man knows not the trials he subjects himself Only his soul controls that Only a spirit bigger than form could bring a lost soul back; To build a stronger structure better suited to our needs Rooted in the principles fairness and dignity Where the burdens of our elders are given justice through our gifts The secrets they pass on with and the history they lived The heartache and the sorrow they kept buried with the shame Will not be how the story ends we can transmute the pain By rising strong in brotherhood, using what we have So when we pass and meet again we'll be forever glad
