PAIN

What can I tell you?

Life is pain

Whether it is in your body

your mind, your family

or in your memories

through loss and love,

life is pain

It is no respecter of persons

Pain lies in wait for the innocent

as well as the guilty

Equal treatment

Equal suffering

What lessons are we to learn from pain?

How do we walk through it?

How do we endure?

I don’t have an answer,

I am taking it step by step
