Faith!
a beacon of strength, resides deep in my heart
my pillar of support through the journey of life
lighting up my path, in my moments of darkness
this thing called faith, is the power to harness!
the fears that arise from forces like doubt
lead me astray from my home within
throwing a noose around my neck
this thing called faith, keeps me in check!
blinded by the delicate charm of the senses
i blunder again with repeated success
even as i am bound by desire’s ugly rope
this thing called faith, restores some hope!

judged by others, and mostly by myself
i feel my self worth starting to null
yet a gentle light radiates inside of me
this thing called faith, sets me free!
when i find myself alone in the ship of life
and all of my friends departing my home
i find peace and comfort in one little fellow
this thing called faith, keeps me mellow!
as waves of misery disturbs my balance
the pain i am subject to, cripples me bad
as i struggle to restore my palpating breath
this thing called faith, delays my death!
repeated falls remind me of this gift
i embrace it tightly, only when its needed
whether or not, i value this treasure
this thing called faith, is never under pressure!
when the joys of life fills my heart
i dance with joy and effortless ease
even when i ignore this beautiful light
this thing called faith, never sees night!
if i always hold on to this precious jewel
my life will light up like the radiant sun
with this gift integrated into all of my action
this thing called faith is my only solution!
