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
