An Unspoken Gift

One's ability to have a comfort within,
Is proven by a comfort with self that is expressed.
Patience and unexpressed strength with compassion,
Is more felt than an impression one does not force to make.
And being in the presence of one like this...
Says a lot about one's faith in self that is shared with others,
As if an unspoken gift.

But often those people of peace,
Are considered by many as meek and weak.
And their abilities determined to be useless.

One's ability to have a comfort within,
Is proven by a comfort with self that is expressed.
Patience and unexpressed strength with compassion,
Is more felt than an impression one does not force to make.
And being in the presence of one like this...
Says a lot about one's faith in self that is shared with others,
As if an unspoken gift.

But often those people of peace,
Are considered by many as meek and weak.
And their abilities determined to be useless.
Although this is not so!
However...
Those who see this,
Know!
