Analysis of We All Have Troubles



We all have our troubles.
None come to invite.
Nor know them the same.

We all have our,
Aches and pains.
None to share,
With others to claim.

Many go on,
Day and night long.
Doing the best that they can.
Yet some will stop.
And talk about the pains they've got.
Including troubles they have everywhere.
There's nothing anyone can do or say,
To people looking to complain...
Everyday.
About something,
Wrong in their lives to live and done to find.
There are people,
Looking for something wrong all the time.
As if someone else,
Doesn't mind.
Being picked to listen,
To somebody who whines.

We all have troubles.
None come to invite or have them welcomed.
Nor know them the same.
We all have our aches and pains.
None of which to share with others;
To claim.
But...
Some will come a running.
Regardless if on crutches,
Or holding their canes.
Some will just come running,
Hoping that they can share...
Every ache and pain.
To complain.
About their lives,
Lived loving to do it.

'Uh...
I don't mean to be rude.
But...
What do you use that cane and crutches for?'

'The cane?
Oh...
It's a prop I use to wave at folks,
To stop them so we can talk.'

'And...
The crutches?
I saw you putting them on that bench.
After you called out to me.
Don't you need them?'

'You know...
Both the insurance company and my doctor,
Told me...
One day,
I would experience a miracle.
I did not expect it to come so soon.
I'm healed.
Can you believe it?'

'These days?
All things are possible.
I'm not surprised at all?
God works in mysterious ways.'

'Tell me about it.
Help me walk back to that bench.
These aches and pains,
Trouble me more each day.
You made me forget,
What it was I had to say.'

'Oh...
Use your cane and do that,
Weak leg limping thing.'

'I am so glad you are here to remind me.'

'...fake is the key...'

'FAITH IS THE KEY!'

'Right.
All praises due!
Oh...yeah.
I remember.
You will not believe what I heard.
And from reliable sources too.
I'll tell you more when we get to the bench.'

'I don't gossip.
But what did you hear?'
