The Joy You Left Behind

It is a very sunny day
Walking down to the park
There are kids playing
Making tall sand castles
Unknowing of the troubles
They have yet to discover

It is a rainy day
Walking down to the park
There are kids running
Splashing in puddles
Unknowing of the troubles
They have yet to discover

It is a snowy day
Walking down to the park
There are kids building
Snowmen and igloos
Unknowing of the troubles
They have yet to discover

It is just a day
Walking in the park
You see these same kids
You seem to be unknowing
Of the joy you left behind
