I can handle the rain now
Because I know the sun will rise
I know that laughter's coming
So I endure the cries
I know green leaves will turn to brown
And warm weather to cold
None of that seems so bad
When I have your hand to hold
I know that life isn't perfect
But it's pretty good overall
I know that devils sometimes prosper
And angels sometimes fall
But it's when the angels prosper
That you should take a look around
Let God handle the devil's
What goes up comes down
Don't waste your time with anger
Killing yourself slowly with hate
What will be, will be
Put some trust in fate
There are no such things as eyes
That have never dropped a tear
Cry your tears of sorrow now
Because tears of joy are near
Your happiness won't last forever
But neither will your strife
A bit of good, a bit of bad
The recipe of life
Author notes
I wrote this one when I was about 17, when one of the verses popped in my head while I was working @ a fast food joint. It is among my faves due to the rhyme and the message.
Please tell me what you think

I especially love the last two stanzas....
Mostly the lines...
"There are no such things as eyes
That have never dropped a tear"
I love how it's about love.....but it spreads truth in the words that explain the need for love....

Sometimes people bitch when you point out the little things, but they're fundamental because they're rpetty important to your credibility. Anyhow. No problem.

Maybe take the apostrophe out of devil's in the 4Th stanza. And you're giving good advice. If you don't like the weather. That's okay. It will change.

Yeah, I figured it would help some people like it helped me. I love life, even though some of the poems I post beg to differ, most are written a long time ago and I dont really feel that sad anymore. Lol like what good btw. Life is awesome and something so awesome couldnt exist w out atleast a little negative aspects. As long as we acknowledge that The good outweighs the bad, we are so set for life. Thanx for the comment btw
