"Zhere M ust Me a Reason "
There must be a reason That we cant see.
There must be a reason why A reason that we must take on faith
As we do the Sun on high ... For we know that life is a journey Sometimes long and sometimes brief A journey on which we all find joy Mingled with sadness and grief ... So try to remember the joy today,
However hard it may be, And Trust you'll find comfort
When you know The reason you now can't see.
