Life's Joy and Pain
In Life that runs
has Lamp that burns
its light not seen
its heat felt keen
a heat when warm
makes Life a charm
a feel so sweet
mind loves to meet
I seek this more
my sprits go soar
joy soon to end
out goes warm friend
a knot of pain
takes root to strain
I hate this state
I call this fate
Lamp is in flame
I pass the blame
why me to task
why me I ask
for long this was
for now it is
Time heals my pain
my mind turn sane
Joy and pain twin
teach how to win
they don’t come free
makes Life its fee
both come and sit
means Lamp is lit
Twin leaves its clout
when Lamp burns out.
