Pain and Suffering!

Pain and Suffering!

That we truly dread times does strike

Life is full of harrowing storms

In case you come across one

Or if one comes across you

I pray that you will be strong enough

To fly, jump, run or walk over it

But if that be not the case

I still will pray that faith and hope

Will help you go through it or even

To patiently coil round it in endurance

To find the waiting delight across

The dreadful pain and suffering

In case the storm is too hard

Not to live you alive and kicking

I still will pray that it will not

Drown you all together

With the hope on the Eternal

Of the promised life after death

Though pain and suffering overwhelm us

We still must hope on to the very end

For there is hope that shines brighter

 Than our mortally best moment

 And hope that lasts even longer

Than our humanly worst moment
