By Roland E. Williams
The beggar who is a king
The stranger who is a friend
The hurt which is a joy
The sorrow which is happiness
The joy that is a heartache
The happiness shed with tears
The friend who is estranged
The king who is a pauper
The man who is a child
The egoist who is an altruist
The flame that is all frozen
The reason that is despair
The mountain that is a heap
The eyes which see no more
The mind which is mindless
The hunger that can’t be fed
The opening that is shut
‘T is love that does all this
