Pleasure or Pain

Some say pain and happiness are two sides of the same coin. I believe that. However we are the ones who flip that coin and it can be hard to tell whether it will come up heads or tails. P.S. This was inspired by what I read on a web site.


Poem Artwork

They are two sides of the same coin

And each day, nay several times each day we flip that coin

We flip it by decisions we make and the friends we join

With each flip of the coin we take a chance

It could bring us sorrow or it may create advance

They say we have the power to grasp happiness

This I believe to be true but we can also create stress

The best advice I can give my friend is to flip it and see

And whatever the coin shows make it the best it can be

You do have the power to create a frame of mind

That will be inclined to embellish the best of what you find

The pleasure comes easy for this is what you desire

To find joy in painful situations, for that faith is required

Faith in the father who gave us that coin to spend

But it came with both sides

Enjoy and endure till the end

God bless

Ah the casino of life. Fortunately the Father's cut isn't 18% so it's a fair toss. Patrick

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
