My pains My gains

 

These are my pains

It flowed like the rains

Heavy as a flood

Never ceasing

 Never easy

Like a moon I was doomed to watch and stare

 In great despair

I stood amazed but desperate

Watching the amazing things of life unfold

But never amused

Like a man I stood

But I was a youth with a root

Bought with a price

Brought out of bonds

I stumbled to be humble

Troubled but never fumbled

I trundled through a tunnel

Passed through tumult

Turmoil was my fate

Yet never fumbled

But humbled

Faith was tried by pain

Gain remained my goal

Going forward was my aim

I fought forces of taint

Forged was my sword

I clinked to my faith

And never let go

Tried and tasted

Yet never tired

Tied unto my faith

Bind unto my cause

Cursing my curse

Sorrow meant for me I sold

They fainted instead

Then did Joy untapped came

And joined unto my cause

Like a tap root it was

And tapped into my soul

Tapped and stayed

My cause became clear

My strength renewed

Now I have conquered

My crown I bear

Clouds I gather

My stains turned to gains

My flaws to flowers

Blunders to prosper

I rejoiced for making my pains my gains
