To Be Without Pain Again Poem by Shalom Freedman

TO BE WITHOUT PAIN AGAIN

To be without pain again
Suddenly
Is such joy
It is to walk again in pleasure and happiness
It is to feel young again
Despite my very old age
It is just such a release and such a transformation
Well I suppose I should thank God for modern medicine
For the doctor who diagnosed and gave me the injection
For whatever it is
That makes me feel so alive and so happy now
Wow- without pain again.
