<font color=darkviolet>So much depends on pain, <br />For pain is a warning, <br />It lets us know when we get too close, <br />To that flame that’s bright and burning. <br /> <br />Pain gives us caution, <br />Lets us know we’ve gone too far, <br />Reminds us to bend head, <br />When we walk under that bar. <br /> <br />Pain helps us learn, <br />Teaches us that when, <br />We prick ourselves it hurts, <br />And we don’t do it again. <br /> <br />Pain discourages death, <br />It makes us think twice, <br />Can give us enough time, <br />To listen to good advice. <br /> <br />Without pain there is no joy. <br />It balances things out, <br />So much depends on pain <br />Something the world can’t live without.<br /><br />Jane Meyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pain-it-s-not-what-you-re-thinking/
