Suffering

Tears of those who cry are not in vain
When suffering from grief or pain
Not physical, but from their feeling
Which to themselves they’re not revealing

Suffering deep within they do not feign
It surely does not bring them any gain
It touches their heart and their soul
They feel it burning like fire of coal

Their heart and their soul feel on fire
As they see their condition as dire
They forget that time will heal
That they are able to turn the wheel

The darker suffering paints a situation
The more we will appreciate liberation
Our love and faith will show us how
To suffering no one should bow.
