The scent of happiness is gone
The sight of happiness has disappeared
The sound of laughter has been muted
But every rose will testify

Sunlight has become scarce
Their hope has followed sunlight
Smiles have turned to frowns
But every thing will surely change

Darkness is now where they reside
Light is something they wish to have
Little do they know
Everything will be ok

With their roots still in the soil
The is still hope for a better tomorrow
And they will realise that
There is light at the end of the tunnel
