A poem about suffering


 A poem for all those in intense suffering.


With God, how far can you get above suffering, I 

ask?

How high can you get above pain?

God answers:

As far as the sky and as near as the breath,

You can enter that Peace 

of Loving Transcendent Mystery

And there find a Peace beyond all knowing.

How wide is that Peace, I ask?

Why, it is as vast as the oceans

And way beyond all the stars

That sparkle through the Universe.

It is as huge as the sea is to a raindrop.

It is as comforting as an endless tender hug.

It is as gentle as a fleecy coat 

of the finest spun lambs wool.

It is always and everywhere

Forever sparkling to bless and touch you.

Amen
