Faith Is a Powerful Thing

From a very young age I have been inculcated And indoctrinated with the belief in god. I used to have the waking frights in the nights, Terrific deep fears of “Satan” everywhere and Horrible nightmares and in those moments I would call on God to protect me from “Satan”. Such is the story evolved over thousands of years. A phobia; promising a carrot and menacing with a stick. Powerful faith defies all logic as truth is subjective Old equations and potions never appeal to my mind Wrong and right my heart of hearts knows well. Even though I know HE is everywhere Residing in each being, even in an atom. Faith is like a mustard seed small in size Until it grows into the largest ever pasture Leaving us in awe with His glory and power. The time when happy, I say, ‘It’s god’s grace’ However when in troubles, I seek Him Invariably to know where he is. Never knowing that I’m like a small ant in a basement of GREAT, vast and unfathomable structured edifice. +++ January 12, 2015 First Place win

You speak the truth and have established some points to ponder; perhaps many people will. Well done.

Without faith a man must walk alone from this world into the next. I am thankful for God's companionship. I enjoyed your poem Dr. Ram.
