YIELDING

Doris Kerns Quinn

That hard core of resistance
melts away
under sunlight of Truth.

No more the strong insistence
of will's dark way
keeps the heart aloof.

A steady, sure persistence
in patient prayer
brings the longed-for proof:

No hard core of resistance
can stubbornly stay
under the same roof

with inexhaustible Life
inextinguishable Love
undiscourageable Truth.
