A Few Little Verses
A few little verses
just can’t tell
the extent of my pain
nor where it is from.
A few little verses
can’t find it all
in the body
in the soul
and in the mind.
A few little verses
they just can’t tell
what brought it to me
what brings it back
and what keeps it coming
again and again.
A few little verses
will never say
the hope I feel
at the coming of day
the disappointment I feel
when the pain is still there
always there.
A few little verses
will never say
the depth of a heart
the pain in a soul
the bitterness in a mind
or the weariness in a body
living with pain
for so many days on end.
