Pain is The Only Thing

Life is a funny thing

It throws a lot of stuff at you

Some that you embrace openly

And others that knock you to the ground

Sometimes joy is abundant

And smiles are overflowing

Your heart feels that it may burst

Because of the love flowing inside

Sometimes it doesn't go too well

Your heart aches and breaks

And pain is the only thing

That haunts your mind and body

One thing is for sure

That whatever is going on

Whatever life throws at you

There is one constant standing by

We need to believe in the one

Turn to Him in our hour of need

And praise Him in times of joy

There is always someone standing beside you
