FAITH

if I learned anything of faith
I learned it from you
in those times
when I'd
lost it
all

when all that I could find
were the doubts and
the wondering
and the
tears

you said just a few words
that took me beyond
my disbelief—
to certitude, that
you knew
me

in you
I found it
and faith in you
restored the rest of it...
these days I think of
those doubts and
the wondering
and the
tears

and remember what it was like
to have no faith, until
that day

you said just a few words
that took me beyond
my disbelief—
to certitude, that
you knew
me—

and you
had kept

faith
