OPPOSITION

You have to know the happy for the sad
The angry for the glad
And la tee ta ta ta

I had to fear the words of a monster
To appreciate the serenity of yours

I had to feel anger and force behind a hand
To appreciate the gentleness of yours

I had to face the realms of death
To appreciate the life I feel in your arms

I had to go through hell
To appreciate the heaven you bring me.

Of course, written for my sweetie. He gives me so much inspiration, and somehow the pain of 
yesteryears is erased, and the wonderful beauty of how life is supposed to be. I waited forty-five
years to find him, and am looking forward to forever with him, in this life and beyond.
