Sadness ©
By Joseph P. Gimenez
2010 for the Red Hook Series
Sadness is a word that
strikes us deep within the soul.
No one knows from whence it
comes and it only makes us cold.
People with Sadness need to
know we care
Only with our help will they
lose their despair.
Sadness for all its troubles
causes us some good
For it makes people want to
help us anyway they could.
We seek to find happiness
although sadness gets in the way
We try to go around it but
its there like night and day.
So when you meet someone
that Sadness has began to own
Remind them there are people
like them and they are not alone
Tell them that the future is
bright if only they will try
Or sadness will be their
accomplice until the day they die.
Getting rid of Sadness oh
what a relief indeed.
It’s like planting a tree
with only a mustard seed
The little nudge you give
them will pay off in the end
And you will be better for
it I promise you my friend.
