Life's lesson

Life’s Lessons
I learn , as the years roll onward ,
And leave the past behind ,
That much I had counted sorrow
But proved that God is kind :
That many a flower I longed for
Had hidden a thorn of pain ,
And many a rugged by-path ,
Led to fields of ripened grain ,
The clouds that cover the sunshine;
They cannot banish the sun .
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done.
We must stand in the deepest shadow
To see the clearest light ;
And often through wrong’s own darkness
Comes the welcome strength of right.
