For all that is good and glorious
For all that is happy and gay
For all that is holy and virtuous
there is an opposite as night and day.
For all that is tragic and painful
For all that keeps us down
For all that makes our life sorrowful
There’s always dawn life’s jeweled crown.
The wheel comes and returns
In irony there’s beauty
in contradiction there’s mystery
the joy and the pain
the love and the hate
the lessons life’s parody.
