comfortable pain – v2

words of knowing
a chink in our armor
a thorn in the side
comfortable pain
familiar, held onto
stones we carry
that we have known
that we have named and numbered
held, mulled in our hands,
worn smooth
our sweat, our touch
known completely
comfortable pain
we need to give to God
