Looking around it seems
like we’re on the
vast plains of grief.

It seems like
good news is far
and few in between.

It seems like
the reasons to smile
are fading away.

Yet we are mindful
of the sweet permanence
that joy and hope have given us.

A sweetness that
negates the sourness
of bad news.

A sweetness where
yesterday’s smile becomes
today’s hope for tomorrow.
