Sorrow and glory
a bride and groom
a bedtime story
of glee and of gloom
Sorrow and glory
a husband and wife
constant companions
in the seasons of life
Sorrow and glory
till death do us part
of hugs and of punches
the beat of my heart

Any growth as a follower of Jesus comes as a result of both sorrow and glory. A winning and a losing. A filling up in that which is lacking in the afflictions of Christ (Col 1). For every gain towards Christ there is an equal loss of something we possess.
C.S. Lewis believed that God has somehow booby trapped the process of enjoying this life too much. This life is only meant to be enjoyed in pieces and not in the whole. It fixes our gaze outward toward the heights instead of finding lasting peace here on earth.
