Pain

The pain will hold on gently As you move throughout your day You'll try to shake it softly But quickly learn it wants to stay It lingers in the corner It follows you around Just when you think you've lost it You learn no solace can be found So here's a trick, I've learned a few For me and pain, we're good old friends And pain's afraid of love, you see Because love, it always mends So open up your eyes a bit Inhale deep and strong Look for the twinkle of loves presence That surrounds you all day long It could be here, it could be there A thought, a smile, a gift Look for the love in every moment And your pain will start to shift Just start small, and why not now Find something good to think of Pain will shy away, you'll see When what you focus on is love And bit by bit, you'll chip away At that old block you now call pain And when you're finished chipping You'll find that pain has a new name
