AN ODE TO PAIN



Pain, truly, I bow to thee.
What would world without you be?

Without knowing what is pain,
Shall we from hurting, refrain?

In fact, pain of suffering
Truly teaches us something.

Pain of giving birth to child
Brings happiness pure and wild.

Suffering is not in vain.
We remember Him in pain.

Pain suffered on punishment
Makes the wrong doer repent.

Pain preceding death of man
Is a prelude to heaven.

When fate is a painful lot,
It makes us remember God.

Pain teaches us endurance,
Noble path of tolerance.
