A short poem about faith.
Digital painting of the Bible and the Cross



A CHILDLIKE FAITH!

I turned my back on everything,
I grew up believing in.
And now, I can’t seem
To believe - in anything.

I know I am not – who I was!
I have no hope, no peace, within.
And, I’m tired of always hurting.
How did I get to where I am?

This constant longing,
With nothing, I try, working.
Looking back on the basics,
I just have to face it,

When I was a little child,
I was happier and I was kinder,
And I was a better me,
Than the me, I am - right now.

So, I’ll be honest with myself,
I no longer want these things I have.
More than anything else,
I just want the thing I had.

That child’s faith.
No needing to know beyond a doubt.
Just to be able to trust again,
In Miracles; in Hope; in Love - in GOD.
