Faithful

An expression of allegiance to the image in one's eye A vow to never forsake thee even with a miniature lie Or even a blemish to the bond that our souls share Believers need not a dream nor a single prayer The obstacle of faith is believing without seeing And the beauty is the truth that one is being Being this imaginary image my eyes have never seen Making me trust that one's hands remain clean Free of all impurities and trouble that seems to follow Preventing this heart from a hole so deep and hollow Or killing a dream filled with optimism for tomorrow And consistent in every way and not just words you borrow More than devotion, something like a promise from the heart A commitment to thee that this joy shall never depart And drain the evil thoughts so that they no longer flow Only the King of the mountains in the celestial skies above can truly know That the words which provide me with comfort are authentic Not just false portraits of happiness pretending to be photogenic Or fabrications misleading the naive and the blind But giving contentment to this confused mind Leading one away from the thought of destruction and disaster Establish my faith the same way as my pastor Make one feel like there is only I and no other Build this trust so high that belief can go no further Uncover your words and leave no mask Because your faithfulness is all that I ask
