Pain

Pain is a companion of mine

That I have come to know so well.

Be it day or night it stays with me.

I'm its host, not much I can do about it.

 

Pain pills work for a time

But even those lose their effectiveness.

So pain you are my companion

An operation seems not to be done.

 

When you are approaching middle 90's

I hope pain has passed you bye.

It's for the younger set to live with

As they can get an operation that I can't.

Pain is a pain in itself I wish your pain would disappear George but never do I wish that for your poetry on these pages,I would miss reading you.
Best wishes to you and may your health improve soon and your pain goes away.

Sorry to hear that. My mother's experiencing the same thing in her 90s. They are refusing to do surgeries that could ease some of her pain.

You certainly don't show any pain with your daily offerings. That's what I like about you and your work… Positive. Right now, my pain is mostly temporary and requiring only a slight adjustment. I can get lost in work or sleep and not have any pain. But I see the day approaching when that won't be the case. I certainly hope that I have your courage to face it that you do.

I'm only 63, and already I have aches and pains I would rather do without. But they're there, and they're all mine so I'll deal with it as best as I can, because I know it's only going to get worse.. As my dad would say, Golden years my ass!

A glass of wine (or two) works for me. But then, I am much younger than you, George. You probably need at least a bottle.

Have you checked the anti-inflammation diet? It works for me.

Very telling of suffrage but you are conquering the pain by accepting it and by getting to know it for what it is. Your words seem to indicate your gaining power over pain.
