Poem of Faith
by Terry A. Shuman
True FaithHow dastardly the winds of fate Can heartlessly destroy and maim, Constricting lives with crushing weight, Without the slightest hint of shame. How dauntlessly we thrust our chins, Assuming a defensive stance, As we attempt to change the winds That castigate with wrathful chants. How endless seems our agony; How quickly we would sacrifice Our own well being, just to be Controller of the tumbling dice. How helplessly we tumble, while Control escapes our striving grip, And teases us with wanton guile, As seagulls would a sinking ship. Yet, hopeless as our plight may seem, And black as night, our days may be, We all shall 'waken from this dream To find God's true reality. Please know that in these times of stress, Forsaken as your heart may feel, God's promised that He'll always bless Those souls whose faith in Him is real.
