Then And Now

For what was then, is done and gone

For what stands before me, is here to stay

The pain, the sorrow, and the agony

All, which you intended to place within me

Has controlled my life for many years

But, with what I have now,

LOVE, PEACE, and HAPPINESS

That stands in front of me, you cannot take away

Controls the suffering that I had once received from you

Listen to me, for I say this once again before you to hear,

For what was then, is done and gone

For what stands before me, is here to stay
