Suffering

Today's Poem

Suffering

Who knows why we must go through

Some suffering when we speak what's true

But often that's the way things roll

We take the flak to reach our goal

And blameless souls can suffer too

For no good reason in our view

We stand amazed at what we see

No answers come for you or me

And yet why are we here at all?

A trillion people build and fall

Unending power which comes and goes

Some days are flat, in some life flows

So take the times which mean the most

And keep them close, but not to boast

For each of us will live and die

In suffering learn, let's not just cry
