Things That Make Us Suffer More

Things that make us suffer more
Are the things we love so
We never grasp them totally
We never own them
They are like sunlight
We take them for granted
In the ordinary knotting of life
They tie the big knots
Always with pain
Because the things that make us suffer more 
Are those we can't live without.
