The Gain of Loss

Written on 12-14-10

We should not be in sorrow

When we have a loss

For we had the experience

To enjoy the joy of having.

But we should be sad

At the sight of gain

For it gives us the time

To have and the knowledge of loss

But even if we have that loss

We think it was great to have

But then again, it began at a gain

And when that gain was given

That door for opportunity was left empty

And then to be darkened and closed

And then we lose that something

From that door

And then the door is filled again

Not only with loss

But with gain as well.
