UNDERSTANDING

by: Nick Kenny

The troubles that beset you
Along life's winding road
Are sent to make you stronger
To share another's load.

We cannot share a sorrow
If we haven't grieved a while,
Nor can we feel another's joy
Until we've learned to smile!

Sweet mystery of music,
Great masters and their art,
How well we understand them
When we've known a broken heart!

Let tyrants lust for power,
Sophisticates be wise,
Just let me see the world, dear God,
Through understanding eyes.
