Faith

There are those of you that question faith.
That is your choice.
That is your right.
I believe it is precisely what has given me life.


I have been faced with many trials.
Some since very early on.
Even way back then, I squared up my shoulders,
put down my head, and plowed forward.
I was and am still certain that I've got a great force
that backs me up constantly.


I believe I face challenges to gain knowledge
and empathy.
I believe I overcome them to offer assistance
and hope.
I cry. I freak out. I get anxious.
And then I realize, as Momma always said,
that this too shall pass.
I may be changed and different afterward,
but it will all be well.


Today, I wish you faith!
