Painting Pain

When pain comes like a flashing flood, Dare to swim in it; When pain erupts like a blasting volcano, Dare to burn in it; When pain blows like a whirling cyclone, Dare to fly in it; When pain breaks like a shaking earthquake, Dare to stand in it; When pain flows like a roaring tsunami, Dare to drown in it; When pain hurts like a searing fire, Dare to smile in it. 01/27/19
