I don't really want
to be helpless,
don't want someone
to swoop in and make things right
A better choice is fortitude -
to stride right into the fray,
to brave the cold, the smoke,
the mud - whatever calls forth
my need to persevere
For then that comfort
will also glow with confidence,
that comfort
will rest in tested strength.
