What Causes So Much Pain?

What is behind the pain,
what causes so much sorrow
what makes someone not want . . .
to see the light of tomorrow?

What would cause anyone,
to take their very own life
what was their earthly burden
what was the crux of their strife?

What makes a person give up,
what causes them to lose all hope
why, oh why, was no one able to . . .
help them, to endure or cope?

Why would they rather die,
what was their fear and dread
what were their last thoughts
what images filled their head?

Why God is there so much pain,
when will it all come to an end
why can't everyone see Jesus . . .
as their life-saving Friend?

1 Corinthians 15:55

" O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?"
