I have found joy, <br />Surcease from sorrow, <br />From qualms for today <br />And fears for tomorrow. <br /> <br />I have found love, <br />Sifted of pain, <br />Of life's harsh goading <br />And worldly disdain. <br /> <br />I have found peace, <br />Still-borne from grief, <br />From soul's bitter mocking <br />And heart's unbelief. <br /> <br />Now may I rest, <br />Soul-glad and free, <br />For Lord, in the travil, <br />I have found Thee.<br /><br />Joseph Seamon Cotter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-goal/
