absence of discomfort

absence of discomfort

by Joel Howard

Not the absence of discomfort

What we need

Is the presence of his comfort

What we need

To endure the discomfort

Overcome the pain

Rise above

Withstand

With him 

For him

Through him

To in this race win

Endurance

Perseverance

Not discomfort's disappearance

Sometimes peace's nearness

Happens when all else are fearing

When all else swerving

Here, in the wind and waves

In the hurt and pain

In the famine and earthquakes

These wars, man-made

Find him today

Before the clearing
