For Everything There is a Price

for every convenience accepted
there is a price to pay for

for every disadvantage carried
there is a sacrifice to replace with

for every lesson learned
there is a value to count in

for every friend befriended
there is something to be grateful for

for every dishonesty found
there is love to heal with

for every wrong ignored
there is forgiveness to acknowledge

and...
for every panda missed
there is another time to live on
