Pain, Pain…Go Away

by Linda Davis

Here it comes again…
I can only escape it for a while.
How am I to go on without them here beside me?
Pain, pain…Go away. Come again another day.
When I am feeling stronger

Here it comes again…
The searing in my heart and soul.
How can I face another day when I don’t know where they are?
Pain, pain…go away. Come again another day
When I have grown wiser.

Here it comes again…
The sun is rising on its own.
How can this be when my world has crumbled all around me?
Pain, pain…go away. Come again another day.
When I can feel warmer.

Here it comes again…
I feel the raindrops on my head.
Hear all the sounds of life, though my own is silent without them.
Pain, pain…Go away. Come again another day.
When I am less faltering.

Here it comes again…
But wait! What’s this?
Somehow the years have flown and I don’t know how this happened?
Pain, pain…Go away. Come again another day.
When I am more courageous.

Yes. Here it comes again…
But this time, not so bad.
Have I found relief, when I thought none was possible?
Pain, pain…Go away. Come again another day
When I have become older.

Yes. Come again when I am older
When time has made me feel it less.
When the sun warms me again and I can see all the way to heaven.
Pain, pain. Go away. Come again another day.
When I am no longer hindered.

Come again when my time is through.
And I can see for myself
God’s home and his angels shining brightly to welcome me there.
Pain, pain. Go away. Come again another day…
