Title: Poem of sorts
Post by Lizzie2 on Feb 18^th, 2005, 2:34am

Not sure if I've ever posted this here before or not, but I really like it. I think some of us could find comfort in these words during some of our greatest struggles!

Sorrow
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all,
and it often comes with bitter agony.
Perfect relief is not possible,
except with time.
You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better.
But this is not true.
You are sure to be happy again.
Knowing this,
truly believing it,
will make you less miserable now.
I have had enough experience to make this statement.
~Abraham Lincoln

maybe with all, but at least this portion of Abe's statement, is why I've kept a similar, shorter message always there.
