Pain Is Just a Four-Letter Word

Pain is just a four-letter word, 
it does not amount to anything. 

One time I fell down from a tree 
and fractured a part of my body; 
I was thankful though it hurt a lot
for it confirmed I wasn’t paralyzed. 

I loved a girl who turned me down 
but it was okay it caused no frown 
for I simply failed, I did not lose, 
how could I lose what I didn't own? 

Once I invested in the stock market, 
lost some with no trace of regret, 
what the heck it was just money 
that I could earn in any given day. 

I had a workout and I hurt a muscle, 
but believe me I found it pretty cool 
for I welcome life's occasional rain, 
after all, “no pain, no gain”! 

Failures and losses they are nothing 
but the right attitude is everything; 
when I am hit I come back for more 
lest I won't know what lays in store. 

Hey, pain is just a four-letter word, 
it does not amount to anything.
