Pain

PAIN

I used to say I am fine, 
Even if deep inside I am hurting. 
I don't want to be a burden, 
To my husband and children. 

Seeking medical treatment, 
Is my last priority. 
I challenge my endurance,
While the pain is bearable.

My head is hard as the stone, 
With a heart  soft as the cotton. 
I always tell my children,
Emulate only the good side in me. 

Calling my departed mom, 
Somehow relieves my pain. 
I felt her loving caress, 
That cures like a medicine. 

But most of all I believe, 
By God's grace I am blessed. 
To endure all the pain I felt, 
Forever grateful to Him. 

Sooner or later, my time will end,
All the pain will go with the wind. 
Pleading God to forgive my sins, 
Entrusting my soul to Him.
