Pain Can
By: the iHope Poet
Can turn him fair, or drain him pale.
Will break him open, or draw him closed.
See what pain will do to a man
When he chooses life over vengeance cold,
Or else shuts his heart out from the warmth.
See how pain is changing a man
Who soon forgets the deeds misdone,
Compared to one who can’t let go.
See that pain is good in a man
Who sees what good still can be made,
And doesn’t waste from building walls.
Seek that growth from pain in a man.
