Song Life is ours in vain Lacking love, which never Counts the loss or gain. But remember, ever Love is linked with pain. Light and sister shade Shape each mortal morrow Seek not to evade Love's companion, Sorrow, and be not dismayed. Grief is not in vain, It's for our completeness. If the fates ordain Love to bring life's sweetness Welcome too its pain. -- Oodgeroo of the Noonuccal (Kath Walker)
