The Triumph of Pain

To do without the pains in life, is for our minds to always be, only mere flower buds. And in due time must, only be peeled open; one petal at a time. So let there be pain. And let there be heartache. As then our very minds shall blossom and bloom. And shall keep on Blossoming and blooming. So let’s go, and blossom and bloom. For then our minds shall, rise and rise, right up to the sky whereby faith alone our minds shall live on. And in living on pain shall be seen more as a game, to only blossom and bloom. © Suzanna Scarlett Sladojevic 2017

This was beautifully expressed Suzanna. Indeed, like they say, no pain, no gain. If we never loved, we'd never experience a broken heart and what fun would that be.

We all learn from painful obstacles in the process of our growth. I agree. Some of us blossom much earlier than others and then fade away. I kind of feel like a slow bloomer....maybe like grandma Moses who got such a late start. I enjoyed the metaphors in your poem Suzanna. : ) 7
