Tragedy

What is tragic is a blessing,
Because it brings you to the root,
Of what's important and necessary,
And to what is simply moot.

And when you rebuild, you know that the foundation,
You are on is strong and pure,
And you are more intimately aware,
And of your strength you are sure.

And even in tragedy,
What you learn cannot be learned,
From any other method,
And so it is dearly earned.

And it's alright,
If you don't experience tragedy.
Just live your life as if what you see's what's there,
And you can avoid sinking into misery.
