Reality
For one soul saved from wreck so many lost;
for one fair flower so many loathsome weeds;
For one calm sea so many tempest-tossed;
One act of love so many hateful deeds.
For one slight ray of hope a million fears;
One day of peace long bitter years of strife;
One hollow laught a thousand genuine tears;
Such is the grim reality of life.
