I Laugh, I Cry (In Memory of My Brother - Ime Udom)

I LAUGH, I CRY

(In Memory of My Brother – Ime Udom)

When things happen to one

Things that touch the deepest part of one

 One laughs

One cries

When one is struck on the inside

By saddening events on the outside

One laughs

One cries

One laughs because one sees

That God above still sees

No matter what is happening to one

One knows that God is still with one

But one cries because one is in pain

Causes of which one can’t explain

One moment one is elated

The next one needs be comforted

But God has a plan via the rain

That suddenly brings on the pain

One can’t see it

One can’t explain it

But one still believes

‘Cause somehow one knows God is in it

One can’t help but laugh

Still one can’t help but cry

‘Cause when those one loves live

And when those one loves die

One will laugh

One will cry
