A Little Opposition

There is something in a sunset
That makes me want to stay,
And watch the colors in the sky
Forever and a day.

There are walks along the seashore
I wish would never end;
And I treasure quiet moments
Alone, or with a friend.

And it's times like these that help us
To make it through this life;
To overcome our struggles, and
To cope with stress and strife.

But were it not for crisis, and
That same old daily grind;
The constant dread of deadlines, and
The fear that we're behind,

I suppose they wouldn't mean much,
And though nuisances annoy,
If we never felt the sorrow
We could never know the joy.
