Pain is a disease unto itself no matter what doctors say,

It knows no color nor does it care how you feel this day,

From the depths of excruciation it has risen here to stay,

Dear Lord, hear my plea to allow this pain to pass today,

Give strength to me I pray as I no longer fight pain so well,

Remind me Jesus of your sacrifice that our sins you expel,

It happened so long ago as from grace man and woman fell,

Man has been filled with sin since that day as if under a spell,

It has no boundaries or extremes of endurance it cannot cross,

When it enters into your body there’s no doubt who is the boss,

I offer up every measurement of pain I endure in thanks of You,

I pray to see heaven’s gate once more but this time pass through,

Thank you for the peace I receive from offerings of my pain,

Most of all I thank you for the strength it takes to remain,

And for “her” the angel sent to me of our very same name,

It is from answered prayers to You that more time I gain,

Today the pain is unbearable and my soul seeks departure’s light,

The tunnel of light that seems to appear and shines so very bright,

I ask you for relief of pain today and avoidance of passage’s light,

You see, dear Lord, I must remain to protect her and hold her tight.
