My Life Of Pain...A Burden? No!  Ken!


Sometimes though life, it's really hard...
To find what we're looking for...
Then along comes 'someone' with the gift,
Of showing us another door...

So Ken, this is for you!

My life is riddled in a pain that doesn't show,
I think cos I hide it so well!
But I guess if you really know me...
Then you would sorta, kinda tell!
But all though my life of pain!
Is it a burden? No!
Why is this do you think?
Well, I bet you already know!

If you are a visitor to my site,
And read my poems true,
Then you will have an idea...
Of my life and how I get through!
I guess if I am really honest,
I have struggled really bad!
And I guess I still do, I think?
And at times, I get a little sad.

I think I cope well, in fact, I know I do!
Cos I have to add, its a bit of a bind,
I have to add, cos my doctors tell me...
‘Catherine, you're one of a kind!!'
And they mean it you know...
And if I have to see a doc who doesn't know me!
They find it hard to believe I'm alive!
Cos in truth, I really shouldn't be!!

But then as you read through my work,
You will see who it is that keeps me tough!
Of course, it is the LORD Jesus Christ,
Who helps me deal with the rough!
And my best work, I have to admit,
Is in the hours that I should be asleep,
But the pain is what keeps me awake,
Even though slumber will always creep!

And although I am oh, so tired,
I have to get up, cos the pain at night,
Is really, I guess, well, really hard...
Cos it's always out of sight!
And the days when I can't get up...ouch!
Are the times I have to stay in bed...
Cos these are the times that are worrying,
Howe long it will last, am I going to be dead?

Cos of course that a very real fear,
All my organs are in a bad way,
Every part of my body is damaged,
So I'm very lucky to be here today!
And every morn that I awake to,
I thank my God for that gift of life,
For helping me through the dark times!
And of course, carrying me through the strife!

I told our Elder Ken when I saw the church,
That I will be the most reliable unreliable person there,
Cos of course, its very true!!
So I needed to make that clear!
I wouldn't want people to think...
That I was messing them about!
But not turning up, quite a lot!
Cos of that, there is no doubt!

So I thank Ken for all his support,
It made a whole world of difference to me!
Cos though our chats in email...
It made me see his church is the one for us to be!
So thank you very much Ken!
Your support and patience came really good!
For now I am a member of this new church!
When I tried in vain to find one that would...

...Would be suitable for us to be in!
And more, would feel right to ‘belong'!
So now you know why we totally commit!
To this church, whom I had hoped for, for so long!
