So often hurt would follow laughter;
At times a smile would help a tear dry faster;
By different people uttered, the same words
Sound wise in one voice, in another one – absurd;
/
On a dark winter day a ray of sunshine
Would offer solace, hope and joy;
While on an afternoon in summer
It may feel like but an annoyance;
/
Today you think I am a monster,
Who knows no empathy or love;
Tomorrow you might change your mind but,
Unlike today, you might be wrong
