On the other side of sorrow

There is hope and joyous peace,

Giving us a grand tomorrow

Where all pain and trial cease.

In the distance, looking forward,

Sunsets dim so very fast.

Yet the morning moves us onward

So, the night will never last.

Heartache, loss, and faith not taken,

In this mortal world emerge.

But when clouds and fog awaken,

Beams burst forth with power to purge.

Rays of sun envelop new days,

Raising warmth as summer’s light.

Looking upward brings a new gaze,

Echoing a former sight.

Memories of prior senses

Whisper solace to the soul,

Offering, in faith, a new trust,

Making each tomorrow whole.

On the other side of sorrow

When this life has earned its place,

There will be such grand tomorrows,

As we look upon God’s face.
