Pain and Tears
I know pain well, have had it for years.
I don't often talk of it, for it can bring tears
Pain tends to creep, where joy used to be
Don't let it control you, it will not set you free
Everybody's been there, at sometime in their life.
Most of them are well aware, of pain's sharp knife.
Loss of love brings lots of pain, and takes forever to heal.
It happens, oh too often, and the happiness, it does steal.
You can never guard against pain, when it comes your way.
You can only try to cope, and pray it doesn't have to stay
Pain can be your friend, at times, it warns you of your fate
Of dangers lurking in your body, before it is too late
Jim 1997
