God has a purpose for your pain, a reason for your struggle, and a reward for your faithfulness.

Trust Him and don't give up.

Sweeter the Loss

Sweeter would be the loss of pain than riches
Like a royal wardrobe richly adorned
Once again to sew those lovely stitches
A new lease upon life slowly born

Pain a constant companion now dismissed
Jump for joy, kiss those moist soft lips
Youth's freedom filled with enthusiasm's  kiss 
Pain gone, left behind, in early bud nipped

Flutter like a yellow butterfly in flight
Carried 'pon the wind from flower to bloom
Enjoy being high in the spirit's light
Like swallows dancing upon wind's voom

Pain's constant presence destroys  life's pleasures
Freedom would be a dance on a breeze so pure

Michael, A child can only do what the parents let them do or provide for them and sometimes poverty provides little for a family. Sad that so many start life without what they need to be healthy. Thanks for reading my work. Sara
