Faith, Hope and Charity

Blind faith leads to destruction
being based on only notion,
a superficial feeling,
emotions that are reeling.
It is not faith at all.

Hope without true faith is nill.
It’s like a placebo pill
It may appear to be the same,
but its wishing in another name.
It is not hope at all.

Ah! Charity translates to love
and to the heavens high above
one will declare the lasting kind
but run and hide at the first bind.
It is not love at all.

Faith, hope and love – these three
are not found in earth or sea.
They come with much work and toil
and small seeds planted in the soil
waiting for rain to fall.

And if one is truly blessed,
there will come a faith-filled rest
where hope is based on reality
even though the eyes can’t see.
God’s love will cover all.
