And this too shall pass
Happiness and harrows
And joys amid sorrows
Stife and sweat
And Spring bereft
All that you love
all that you hate
These too shall pass
Achievements through ardours
And despair through labors
Elation and lamentation
Peace and confrontation
Our smiles and our tears
Our hopes and our fears
These too shall pass
Enjoyment without concern
And grief without confine
A broken heart to mend
Or full of love to fly
Our highest highs
Our lowest lows
These too shall pass
Life in Death
And Death that comes to life
War of rusty words
And the Victory after strife
Good times and gay times
Bad times and gray times
These too shall pass
As night follows day
So shall day surely follow night
At the end of every tunnel
There shall always be light
Treasure the best moments
dwell little on the worst for
These too shall pass.
