So Much Insult And Pain

SO MUCH INSULT AND PAIN So much insult and pain- So much we all have to bear - Life is not easy for any of us. Yet we go on Finding in our small pleasures In acts of kindness, Meaning and consolation. Life is difficult - Endless disappointment - Efforts which go nowhere- Work unrealized- People we love Unable to realize their dreams However we would help them - Life is difficult Friends lost Sadness- And yet and yet and yet When we are here The ‘best we can do’- perhaps. And that never- ending vague prayer to God, To make it ‘alright’ somehow.
