About the Poem
At times I feel like my life is complicated, like God has allowed more grief and suffering to come my way than He should have. But in my heart, I know I should be thankful that I have access to opportunities that others will never even dream of having, that I should be glad I even have loved ones, even if they are taken away from me.
I have had painful things happen to me, and I know what sorrow feels like, but there are always those who have been hurt deeper than me. To them I can only offer my prayers, and my sympathy.

Their Pain |
| by Meredith Mcghin |
|
I can only imagine What it's like to sacrifice How it feels to do without What it takes to pay the price To offer all I have Unto others with a need I can only imagine For myself, I live in greed I can only imagine What it's like to be alone How it feels to be rejected How to get by on my own To never share a secret To feel empty deep inside I can only imagine For myself, I live in pride I can only imagine What it's like to be abused How it feels to lie awake Feeling angry, tired and bruised To have no friend to turn to Filled with rage I can't release I can only imagine For myself, I live in peace I can only imagine What it's like to know such pain How it feels to wake each morning With a past I can't explain To live a constant nightmare That no else can parallel I can only imagine But for them, they live in Hell |

Quite striking i must admit,being a poet the Author has actually captured the reader by giving exactly what touches the heart. In life we all go through ups and downs in our own way. Its interesting on how this poem has such weight on how memories are, very outstanding. I like it.

It was a very beautiful poem. There is so much truth in it, so many people believe that others have it better, when really sometimes they don't. I believe your poem will open people's eyes a little more.
