I've Found Sorrow and I've Found Joy (v)
I've found sorrow and I've found joy
Both are as fresh as the water I drink
One was of taste the other a decoy
Which one is either you must now think
I've had pleasures I've had trouble
None did I seek though both did I gain
Value they gave and each they redouble
Some felt like sun the other pouring rain
Both are of life in fullest of content
Bringing yearnings and all shorts of needs
Contrasting ways some making relent
Others with joy and heart-to-heart greets
