Sadness then Happiness By Kellie
Everyday goes byand you wonder why
Why did I have to be the oneto lose a house or a loved one.
The stress the worries and the sadnesshas taking control of my happiness.
A sense of being out of controland never really able to hold
what really really should showwhat makes the fear inside grow.The feeling of being overwhelmed
hopeless and aloneWanting to turn back time, go back
when you had a happy home.Through it all the flood, mud, and rain.
The guilt depression and the pain.You will get through that sadness and
guilt. And have that happy home rebuilt.
