If All The Skies

Henry Van Dyke

If all the skies were sunshine,  

Our faces would be fain

To feel once more upon them  

The cooling plash of rain.

If all the world were music,  

Our hearts would often long

For one sweet strain of silence.  

To break the endless song.

If life were always merry,  

Our souls would seek relief,

And rest from weary laughter  

In the quiet arms of grief.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
