Sufferings - Make - Us - Stronger Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Suffering makes
us stronger,
better people.

There is no way
around suffering.

We have to experience it,
live it, go through it
in order to come
out at the other end healed.

Jesus suffered an
agonising death
as did all those
who were crucified
in that era.

It is my belief
that if he came
to the world again
today, the same
thing would happen
to him, but in a different way.

People have not changed
down through
the centuries, sadly!

(Written from the comments of Marie Shine, poetess of Listowel, Ireland)
