Pain and Suffering

A spiritual look at pain & suffering; what should our concern really be?

Pain & Suffering

Pain is found in the body.
    Suffering is felt in our soul.
What is found in the body
    Is beyond our control.
What is felt in our soul
    Is what devastates us so.
The body is temporal.
    Its pain will not last.
The soul is eternal.
    What we suffer from won’t pass.
Concern for the body
      Should be put to the side.
Concern for the soul
    Should be foremost in our minds.
What we suffer in this world
    Is determined from within.
By the choices we make
    And the human condition we’re born in.
Only one can relieve the pain;
    Being divine & human as he came.
Only one can relieve the suffering;
    By merely believing in his name.
