Sadness is the girl with no one to wipe away her tears,
the dog with no best friend.
Sadness is the cat with no purr,
and the child with no home.

Sadness is the fire with no flame,
the trees with no leaves.
Sadness is the ice with no cold
and the rose with no petals.

Sadness is loss.
But sadness is learning to deal with the loss.
