For The Valleys Lead to Mountains of Peace In the walk of life many things are unclear As our path fills our soul with doubt and fear The people we meet on our journey give us our name In the eyes of our maker how we treat them our fame When things go our way do we sing out our song Would it not be as sweet had life never gone wrong The magnificance of spring would be all but lost If not for the sadening of the cold winter s frost To admire the irony that pain in our lives can bring Is to see the world from the view of an angel s wing Understanding without confusion leaves no glory when found As the refreshment of water is lost in the absence of ground Think on the good things which offer you joy and love Without loneliness would they not be as gifts ftom above Lift up your spirits with the knowledge found herein Then know in your heart of life s game did you win And when misfortune and sorrow in your path does not cease Walk tall and smile for the valley s lead to mountains of peace TRoN BL DE Dedicated to Rosanne T May you find the sweet smile of life!
