Pain, Salve, Strength, Wisdom, & Life

When pain comes

And for Salve we reach

Knowledge of Salve we gain

When pain comes

And for Strength we reach

We endure only so we understand

When pain comes

And for Wisdom we reach

Thoughtfulness we birth

When pain comes

New Life is birthed

Only if for Understanding we reach

Wisdom trumps Strength

Strength trumps Salve

Only through Wisdom Pain births Life
