witnessed
by many
and some days they are all we know
we often forget that
we have also heard joy
we have also seen love
we have also Known happiness
we have also tasted kindness
we have also felt peace
we have also witnessed life
Joy

and life
are common things
and on the days when we forget they exist
when it seems they are ideals that never happen
remember
It's only a matter of time before you experience them again
for they are rather common things.
