A handful of rain, a heart full of glass!
Pain and sadness and bitterness, and helplessness.
Oh, how life makes you feel,
and how often life makes you ill,
for life is far too often, far too painful,
and in many people’s lives,
there are many metaphorical buckets,
filled with tears collected throughout the years,
and there are many sad moments that you wish would pass,
but they do not, alas.
And of life, what a terrible thought the strife,
the strife that life far too often brings to us.
And with eyes and memories,
full of the visions of the world,
and its personal and global tragedies,
and the inhumanity to humanity,
that is constantly on the internet,
the radio and on our television screens,
how far away happiness seems to be,
for happiness for many seems to be,
a horizon that they never can seem to reach.
And with many filled with mixed emotions and memories,
oh, how terribly complex life is,
and what sad tragedies in the memories lay,
amidst the dust of the years,
the memories that continue to bring so many tears,
memories that continue to frustrate,
and upset and perplex.
Oh life, oh, life, whatever next?
A handful of rain?
A heart full of glass,
a bucket full of tears,
and a mind filled with fears,
tears and fears that we no longer wish for,
oh, those fears, those fears,
fears that we have cried over for far too many years,
how we wish that they would disappear and leave us alone!
Bad sadly it seems,
there is no respite from the troubles of life,
and there is often far too much wrong,
and no way seemingly to put things right.
Oh, life, the troubles, and the strife.
What trouble there is on the Earth,
but that is how life is, never easy, no, never easy at all,
and how often in life we suffer,
and how often life turns from happiness to sadness,
far too regularly and erodes at our souls.
And sadly, sadly, there are far too many in humanity,
whose lives are filled with regret,
and tragically, how often life is shattered by depression,
and how many times in life we have shattered minds,
and how many times we find ourselves lost,
and far off course.
And often, in countless numbers,
many do weigh up the value of life,
and wonder whether life upon the heart,
and whether life upon the mind,
is worth the emotional and the financial cost?
