Pain and Ache

Pain and Ache


Are you alright,
No, but I will be,
The question asked,
the answer given.

The answer given
the pain stays,
many losses
throughout life's span.

Loss of a beloved,
loss of a lover,
loss of a friend.

Pains go
Aches stay.

  1. It's hard to choose, but if pushed I would say that this poem is my favorite of all your posts thus far, Jack. Every word communicates very personal, vivid images in the mind's eye. Anyone can relate to your message. Very powerful!
