Living With It

What do you do with pain What do you do with illness You either give in or live with it Surgeries, medications, herbal remedies Prayer faith and atonement Everyone suffers Everyone hurts Life is precious and fleeting Is it unfair for life to drag endlessly in youth And race away so fast as adults when we could use it the most No use crying Just smile Limp along and use whatever aid you need A cane, a walker, a brace, a wheel chair but get out there in the thick of life If others feel uneasy because of you Let them, for everyone of those There are the blessed souls who'll open a door and assist you, God Bless the good Life seems unfair but everyone has loss everyone has fears, everyone has doubt You are not the only one You haven't been single out You are not being punished It's part of life So if you need to when at home Go ahead Scream, shout , rage. cry, let it out, let it go But have something to look forward to Have something to believe in "In the beginning God created..." Live with it.
