SIGHT WITHOUT SORROW

A sight without sorrow
Is a world without tears
A place of endless laughter
Where sadness is a foreign factor

No more cries of pain
Or heartache that remains
Gone are the days of sorrow
And sorrows that we borrow

A sight without sorrow means
Joy would conquer all our fears
The smile would never fade
And sorrow would slowly fade away

No more broken hearts
Since love never fades
Happiness would be the norm
And negativity would deform

Tears may be a sign of pain
But they also wash away the stain
Let your tears fall, for in their wake
We find the courage and strength to share

In a world without tears
We might not need to rejoice
But through our struggles and fears
We discover the beauty of our tears.
