            TIMES OF PAIN
          By ... Steve Lucky

Every life has times of pain
Threatening to drive one insane.
Before one goes completely numb
Pain must somehow be overcome.
Others have pain in far away places.
Although not something one normally aces,
It is best to act sensibly despite it all.
Many times of pain most people can recall,
Yet remembering pain is not the same
As experiencing different pains by name.
Usually pain will go away
With a few sad exceptions when it comes to stay.
For one having to watch another suffer and die,
Different pain comes as the healthy people cry.
Even if pain will win in the end,
Temporary relief comes from a friend.
