Through The Pain

Through The Pain

by Bud Lemire on Oct 18, 2005

So much of yourself you give

Through the pain that you live

You say you will adjust

Never causing a fuss

You help others with your pain

It helps you to remain sane

Knowing it'll help someone survive...

...the pain you feel while you're alive

The knowledge is what you share

So others will learn and be aware

Hoping they'll find a cure for this disease

To calm the hurting, like a gentle breeze

Some nights you're wide awake

Sometimes fear, sometimes medicines you take

Other times when you dream

You wake up with a scream

When will your suffering end

My dear and gentle friend

She just smiles and says, "it'll be okay"

But I know she has much more she wants to say

Is there any way, I can ease the pain you feel

Stop the hurting, and help you to heal

No one should have to go through what you do

What you need is a miracle from out of the blue

This is for my friend Michelle, who lives with a very rare blood disease.
