When I see suffering reflected out of another’s eyes,

I wonder, why it happens that people must suffer so much?

It doesn’t seem fair, how the pain is distributed.

Some that are good, must suffer so often,

while others appear to get away unscathed.

I wonder, How can GOD allow this?

How can JESUS quietly watch over the sufferer

when he knows their pain so intimately?

But, Oh the love he must feel for them,

Those who face some of the same

suffering and pain that he has known.

Now that I think about it,

It would be worth the price, this suffering,

For the pain in one’s life will come to an end,

but the kinship with Christ each sufferer earns

will last throughout eternity.
