"Solace" by Mary Lue James There is never a life without sadness, There is never a heart free of pain. If one seeks in this world for true solace He seeks it forever in vain. So when to your heart comes sorrow At losing some dear one you''ve known ''Tis the touch of God''s sickle at harvest Since He reaps in the fields He has sown.
