You Are The Pain and The Joy <br /> <br />You are the Pain and the joy <br />on the stage of life. <br /> <br />You are the pain hunger and the joy <br />of food on ones table. <br /> <br />You are the pain of the homeless, <br />and the joy, of the home, <br />in His heart. <br /> <br />You are the pain on a bitter, <br />winter day and the joy, in <br />the warmth of the sun. <br /> <br />You are the pain and joy, in the <br />solitude, of those moments alone. <br /> <br />You are the pain and joy, that <br />lingers in ones heart. <br /> <br />You are the pain in music that is bad, <br />and you are the joy, in my song <br />of life. <br /> <br />You are the pain, in the tragedies <br />of the world, and the joy in the <br />goodness of people. <br /> <br />You are the pain of the orphans of <br />the street, and the joy, in a <br />mothers love. <br /> <br />You are the pain, in a sometime unjust <br />world, and the joy in the spirit <br />of ones heart. <br /> <br />You are the pain, in the loss of <br />loved ones, and the joy, when they <br />are seated at His table. <br /> <br />You are the pain of self destructive <br />addiction and the joy in redemption. <br /> <br />You are the pain, in the sicknesses of <br />this world, and the joy in the <br />hope of recovery. <br /> <br />You are the pain in the misery of the poor, <br />and disenfranchise, and the joy, in <br />the parts of society, that attempts to, <br />raise them up. <br /> <br />You are the pain and you are the joy, <br />in all things. For you see, in life, there <br />can not be joy...unless there is pain. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-life-unless-there-is-pain-there-can-not-be-joy/
