Precious memories of youth are buried deep in your mind. And become treasures of truth God has left for you to find. Time ticks fast for aging hearts pondering on things undone. For suddenly, old age starts and the dying; has begun. Despair flows amidst sad tears, stripping everything of joy. Abandoned to face your fears, you feel like yesterday's toy. Rejecting eternal peace, you cling to fragments of hope. And your soul delays release, although you struggle to cope. Forced to acquiesce to death, you prepare yourself to die. And drawing your final breath, you expel a silent sigh. (Quatrain) 8/18/2015

without Faith in something, hope can not exist....we are already dead, Death just hasn't checked the list....and without Rebirth, our futures approach doom....but the Faith Of A Mustard Seed can end the gloom....
