Suffering has different meanings, I must say
Suffering for good or bad depending on the day

I may suffer in training to win a race I've won
I may suffer for making mistakes I shouldn't have done

How I choose to suffer is in my hands
Deciding on the most appropriate plans. 

Always looking for love and light
Discarding the evil of the night

Suffering is lessened along the way,
by loving The Lord more each day.
