Pain

Pain. 
Aches and pains. 
Numb. 
Blind and dumb. 
Shifting, burning, 
Aching, throbbing, 
Pain. 

Gift of age, Curse brings rage
That builds and tears 
On wounds and fears 
Like coils of rope,  
Draining hope.

Yet on I walk, 
‘Er this one thought, 
With pain comes patience 
And grateful thanks 
Of days gone by, 
And future bright.
