Not all trees are felled by storms.
Not every seed finds a barren soil.
Not all the wings of dreams are broken,
Nor is all affection doomed to wither in
a desolate heart.
No ,not all is as you say.
Not all flames consume themselves ,
Shedding no light on other lives.
Not all stars announce the night and
never down.
Not every song will drift past every ear
and heart.
No,not all is as you say.
Not every cry for help is silenced, nor
every loss beyond recall.
Not every charm spells disaster.
Not only the weak will be brought
to their knees,nor every soul be
trodden under.
It won't all end in tears and blood.
Today is heavy with tomorrow,
the future was planted yesterday.
Hope is a burden all of us shoulder
though we might stumble under the load.
