THE GOAL by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR.

First Line: I HAVE FOUND JOY
Last Line: I HAVE FOUND THEE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I have found joy,
Surcease from sorrow,
From qualms for today
And fears for tomorrow.

I have found love,
Sifted of pain,
Of life's harsh goading
And worldly disdain.

I have found peace,
Still-borne from grief,
From soul's bitter mocking
And heart's unbelief.

Now may I rest,
Soul-glad and free,
For Lord, in the travail,
I have found Thee.
