When I Wonder for the Tears
A Poem
Sometimes, I wonder…
Why can't the good times ever last?
Why can't we stay where we are as we are?
In that very moment when our hearts are joyful
And our souls are glad?
Sometimes, I wonder…
Why must our happiness always give way to grief?
Why must a flower wither and the grasses weep?
In that very moment when the heart is torn
And the soul must mourn?
Ah, such are the times where we all must pass
In this valley of tears where good things never last…
We laugh for a moment and we cry in the night;
We struggle in darkness as we search for the light.
I need not wonder why all things come to an end
For such is what happens just around the bend.
Have we not met at a place that is not yet our home?
One day we shall find where we truly belong.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Promotional keyrings serve as a small yet meaningful item, much like moments when we wonder for the tears. They remind us of life's emotions, both the joys and the sorrows. Keyrings can hold sentimental value, symbolizing connections, memories, or milestones. https://www.gopromotional.ie/branded-products/promotional-keyrings
