Pain Poem by Brad Dodson

Pain... it's one of the things we all share.

We all will go through physical and emotional pain.

It comes in different ways; the worst way is the loss of a loved one.

I don't know firsthand how it feels but I imagine it would be like a cut to the heart that just won’t heal.

But pain is part of life and the only way to escape it is by death.

All too often we view pain as bad or ugly. But you can use your pain to do good or turn it into some form of beauty.

We each have a choice weather to let our pain consume us, or to channel that pain into something constructive.

So it’s your call… will you use your pain or let it use YOU? Your choice can change the course of your life so choose carefully.
