Degrees of Pain

Pain comes in degrees, In ever darkening shades of misery Today is a physical nightmare Awesome is the pain Nowhere is relief Gives me naught but grief... But endure I will And fight on I will I will conquer this agony Trust in my ability To bear what I must bear, To face what I must face, For physical pain.. Must be put in its place No pain is forever No sin is unforgiven To prove this fact, Our Lord has risen To welcome us to Him To help us with our sin To bear the brunt of resurrection For we are all his kin... So, despair not child, Your day will come When you are with The love of some Who see you for What you really are, A shining light above, A precious star.
