Pain Pain
Why are you here?
What have I done,
To bring this tear?
A day or two
I can bare,
But this constant pain
Doesn’t seem fair.
I pray, I plead,
I search for an end.
The answers I await
For my body to mend.
The days become weeks,
Then months to years.
A new reality I have,
I must face the fear.
I see the lessons,
The wisdom of pain.
Humility, love and compassion,
Are traits I gain.
The golden light,
Begins to shine.
Finding blessings,
In all the grime.
With each day,
Hope renews.
I can make it,
With some new shoes.
I walk a new path,
With truth and grace.
I carry the Spirit,
And a song of praise.
I lean on others,
To give and receive.
I learn to honor,
This pain in me.

This I empathize with you on. Beautiful expression of it and I was with you all the way.
Thanx so much. Haven’t written poetry much in the last 30 years. Reminds me of music, has a way of touching the soul.
