Life Is Beautiful Pain
Life is beautiful pain
Suffering is seldom a choice one would accept,
Why change a custom in which you’re safely kept.
Personal and spiritual growth can come with a toll,
Though benefit you will in your mind and your soul.
Pain is perfection allowing you to heal then grow,
If not for the bitter the sweet cannot glow.
Imagine a life where every meal is ice cream,
Imagine being burnt but not needing to scream.
We may plunge from great heights into depths of despair,
Now look at those around you and see what you share.
There is joy in the purest most intangible of things,
Sharing a blanket or hug and the warmth that it brings.
Beauty like a rose is the more precious for the thorn,
A Rhino’s just another mammal save for its horn.
The majesty a crack of lightning brings to a storm,
Your senses on fire when spring begins to dawn.
Struggle and strain make the winning worthwhile,
Take the first step soon you’ll be running a mile.
The pride you will feel can never be replaced,
After fighting and beating the troubles you faced.
If you're lucky enough and suffering comes your way,
Heed these sage words and let follow what may.
Don’t walk with blinkers on for fear of getting lost,
Open your heart to experiences no matter the cost.
