Give voice to your sorrow
Keep not your grief inside
Least it tear the very heart from thee.
Guard not your pain till the morrow
But vent it with cries of anguish,
Call out to the hills as far as ye can see.
List’ not to those who bid you calm,
For smiles cannot your sadness hide
And kind words allay not your fears.
Let tears flow and soothe like balm
Until the burning fire is extinguished.
Time alone will heal tho’ it takes many years.
