Poem Title:
Poem
The doubter finds a way of not believing Convinced they've seen the worst in man For how can there be, one higher than me When we've seen the world's pain and misery They tend to focus on the sadness and the narrow Hate to live life by anothers rule You can't make them believe, but if they looked they could see His miracles are all the proof that they would need The skeptic feels lost somewhere in the middle Questioning the very answers they hold true They may have seen His works first hand, but the duality of man Is what keeps them searching further for the truth They're just a step away from crossing towards the light Where forgiveness frees and eyes gain new sight This is the place where most men stand, somewhere upon this fence So in your soul may His fire ignite The believer, may sometimes be the hardest Cause the devil puts temptation in the way For how can one believe, in what you cannot see Is what they'll say as they try to deceive The doubter, the skeptic, and the believer If you look they're one in the same The progressions not easy from doubter to believer But they all share in the shame and the blame For some it may come on their deathbed For others with the birth of a child Though the road may be long and arduous He will carry you in life's last mile If you believe, don't chastise the others If you're a skeptic, I hope that you can find your way But if you remain a doubter, I pray that you change Even if it's on your last day The skeptic, the doubter, and the believer If you look they're one in the same The progressions not easy from skeptic to believer But they all share in the shame and the blame Please ask yourself if you are wrong What will be the price that you'll pay If you believe, you may get lucky and see That there's life that lives past the grave
