If Not For All The Heartache

If not for all the heartache
If not for all the pain
The person that I am today
No would not be the same
Perhaps I’d be more happy
Perhaps more sad I’d be
Perhaps I’d never write a word
And then my gems would be
Yes lost to all who read them
What say you yeah, yeah, yeah
I just know that my life would be changed
And probably I’d say
If not for all the happiness
If not for all the joy
This guy who wiites
These poem to post
Would be a different boy

This was inspired by a comment made
on one of my poems by Gloria Sarasin
Thanks Gloria
