I have faith
I know this because it's shaken
That couldn't happen if it didn't exist.
_
I have faith
because today I got out of bed and that cup of
coffee burned my mouth letting me know I am alive.
_
I have faith
because the fear and heartache that wakes me in the night
though still there in the morning- the sun returns.
_
I have faith
because I question everything yet
still walk on knowing we aren't alone.
_
I have faith
though I lack total knowledge, I'm relieved
because a God that I understand would be too small.
_
I have faith
our actions are willing choices of good or evil yet still we
walk among each other on our journey home in merciful time to change.
_
I have faith
as turmoil swirling gives rise to terror and panicked confusion
I cry for help and my heart knows it's heard.
-
I have faith
Sure that it's real: hope persistent without perception
Bending grace across the void and into my spirit.
-
I have faith
because when hope is slim and love is conditional
faith lights a candle to welcome them home.
