Hannah Anderson Turn lamentations into celebrations. Lamentations are not to be celebrations. In them souls find relief from sorrow and heartache. The dark is meant to flee from smiles and joyous turns of phrase. Don't be sad. Be happy. Be happy. Be happy. Don't be sad. Why are sorrows and downcast spirits evil? Why cannot there be tears, pains, heartaches to feel? Why is it such things are covered in cheer? Hide them all, weep no more. Evil are all tears. Don't cry. Smile. Smile. Smile. Don't cry. I tell you, I am a sad being. Sadness in my soul, my heart beating. They see Eeyore in his gray, gloomy cloud. Elves with joy-tempered sorrows, I have found. Don't be sad. Be happy. Be happy. Be happy. Don't be sad. Happiness has its place, but sorrow must be had. We cannot always be happy. We cannot always be sad. Many hide sorrow with smiles. But pain is freed, healing seen, when we cry a while.

AuthorWelcome to my humble collection of poems. Though I have written many poems growing up, most of a free-verse form, it wasn't until a Poetry Workshop in Fall 2021 that I finally began to delve into the art of poetry. |
