Give Your Pain a Bit of Gratitude

April 8, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is health.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A get-well-soon poem about enduring pain:

Give your pain a bit of gratitude.

Endure it with due deference to its cause.

The healing instruments could not intrude

Without obeying certain natural laws.

Each moment is a step towards getting well,

Light shining past the doorway of your pain.

Let time take you gently through this hell,

Sure that time will heal what wounds remain.

One lives in hope yet suffers in despair,

Often bearing more than one can bear,

Needing time to savor time again.
