When pleasure lies
On a bed of pain
When to lose is to win
With a sense of gain
When to conquer the peak
Is to actually surrender
As you finally summit
It makes you ponder
Going down the aisle
With your daughter’s arm
Are you losing a daughter
Or gaining a son
Making that kind gesture
To an elderly couple
May cause you inconvenience
Perhaps some trouble
But that feel of satisfaction
You derive in the end
May more than justify
Your temporary pain
Can gain exist in isolation
Without any underlying pain
Still being contemplated
Still unexplained

As my karate master used to say, ” No pain, No Gain “. You’ve said is much better. Hope to find out about the loss of a daughter or gaining a son soon. As we travel, already on the receiving end of kind gestures towards elderly couples :).

A very profound thought. Most of your poetry is very philosophical and thought provoking. Thanks for making it available on a day to day basis
