Faith & Hope

You may think I don't see...

...but do not be quick to
underestimate me.

I may fall short at times as
human nature is and does,
but I guarantee each time
I will rise harder...

...sometimes to be reborn
death of a part of oneself
is a must.

If ever I had a strength
it's faith...

...the virtues of
faith, hope and love
are what give me both
joy and pain,
in spite of a world that
doesn't seem just.

I'll find joy in living a life
worthwhile; pain in giving
so much I'll cry inside...

...all the while,
I'll hold my smile
and hold my head high.

There's a comfort in
faith and hope;
without faith,
hope cannot live,
and then again,
hope and faith
combined can
move mountains,
washing away the
prisons we hold
ourselves in.

Call it a blessing,
call it a curse,
but the faith I hold
keeps me strong...

...when most give up,
I'll still hang on.

This is across the board,
for ALL my family and friends,
if you have my love,
in you my faith never ends...

...and from the Greater Life
and Light, should this faith stem.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

faith, hope and love... and the greatest of these is love.
