To live with chronic pain
Is at times quite hard to bear
Yet, easier if you simply remember
There are those who truly care
And important to keep in mind
The pain is not only yours
It's something that those around you
Themselves at times endure
It's just as tough on them
As it is painful for you
They watch as you act in ways
That you don't normally do
You're short on patience and quick to explode
And feel that it's only you
Who carries the burden of this pain
But, they suffer a great deal too
It may actually be tougher to watch someone
That you love and hold so dear
To lie in pitty and disaray
And then they have to hear
How much it hurts and hard it is
As they lovingly carry "your" share
So, offer-up your discomfort
And be more sensitive to theirs |
