what to do with pain
what to do with pain
shoulders ache
neck aches
back aches
especially fingers ache
how to bear it
is it more noble to never mention
pain to others
bear it privately and carry on
or is it better
to share pain
because everyone has pain
what if pain is shared
and no one is interested
or labels you pain
and stops inviting you to do things
please tell me your pain
i will listen
i will care
I will pray for you
what if I share
and you share
together can we ease pain
I bring my pain to God
my one sure action
pain is personal
and often lonely
what to do with pain
do you know

The best use for pain?
this is what I find
use it to soak your heart
to grow compassion in your mind
bring it back to memory
to the surface of your life
whenever you see someone
bombarded with life's strife
pain is a helpful partner
in adding fervency to prayer
for another's problems
because we've all been there
