Sorrow And Joy |
We’ve had some good times |
In photographs you see us laughing and carrying on |
White shirts on the clothesline |
Outside flapping like misshapen flags |
And where are the claims that we staked when we sank in the mire |
Motion suspended like stillness of birds on a wire |
Look, in good order from tallest to smallest |
Dressed up for the shot |
Some of us got to go on with our lives |
The ones that leave holes are the ones that did not |
And if you believe you will see them again over Jordan |
And if you’re not sure, you will plant them a tree in the garden |
Sorrow and joy are not oil and water |
They’re hater and lover, they inform each other |
Attract and repel make us sick make us well |
But in the end we must hold them together |
On the day that President Reagan was shot |
You skipped home from school thinking this was good news |
We surrounded you horrified broke you to tears |
But we’d force fed you politics beyond your years |
And after you died it was me who had cried |
At the memory |
Some things would fade |
But that image is clear as the day to me |
Sorrow and joy… |
Now you’re a still life, a rose on the table |
Forever a child |
My desperate desire just to ask you some questions |
Your school picture staring back at me a smile |
Plays on your face like the best of the times that we knew |
And how the negative lights up the darkness in you |
Sorrow and joy are not oil and water |
