To say that pain is a good teacher is an understatement.
I have wasted valuable time trying to avoid her,
yet she manages to finds me, and as I revel and hide from her,
I honestly have to say that my greatest lessons in life
have been learned under her strict tutelage.
If it wasn't for her I would lack compassion, gratefulness,
spiritual growth, sensitivity for people and their sufferings,
nor would I be able to delight in the sweetness of a pain free,
silent moment of peace.
Suffering came after me and caught me and taught me compassion, gratefulness........... very very nice poem with a sublime theme. thank you dear poet
Smooth and meaningful sail of any boat Ensures good teacher and his radiates. That way, pain proved to be the best teacher. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to translate this poem
i definitely relate to this, luz. in the christian tradition disciples are told to expect suffering as integral to their experience. may we remember these lessons in our bones and, when possible, learn without the necessity of life's heavier blows. -glen
Glad you can relate, one often feels alone at the time of such lessons. I'm trying to learn now without such harsh lessons. Best regards! Luz
