It Has Been Said. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

It has been said,
that we cannot have the light without the dark.

It has been said,
we cannot have joy without some
sadness.

And in those moments when we are together,
I can feel your joy and your pain.
You are my sunshine when it rains.

For in us all is a dark side,
that we sometimes do not face.
We all have some demons,
which we try to battle with grace.

So on those days when your darkness
takes you to a place of gloom.
I will come and comfort you,
and take you to a garden were flowers bloom.

And you can do the same for me.
Show me the other side.
So I can try to understand,
the things that you hide.

It has been said,
that we cannot have the light without the dark.

It has been said,
we cannot have joy without some
sadness.
