Sea of Sadness

The sorrow patters in my heart

Like rain out on the bay.

I really have no cause for grief,

But it won’t go away.

I seem to be adrift in life,

My anchor has torn free,

And all the tears that I have cried

Could wash me out to sea.

It is a sadness of the heart,

But it will pass away,

And happiness will fill the place

Where there are tears today.

Nehemiah 2:2
so the king asked me, “Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.”
