Borrowed Comfort

All Comfort is Borrowed

From others, From God

In and of ourselves

Our need is not satisfied

When no one else is available

We hug something soft

While we think of those,

And of the One Who gave us

Comfort, Who gave us those Others,

If only for a moment

Only for a memory

We are not alone

For we do not have Comfort in storage

Yet we have ample supply in Plenty

To lavish on others when they Need

For God, the Great Comforter

Loves to Give

What only He does not need,

Yet created in Unending Supply,

Like a Thread tied to His Heart,

 Comfort is Ever-born from Love
