A Little Faith

Not like heaps of sands 
resting on barren lands
or herds of animals of all kind 
that with ease widely we find

On the surface even a bit 
you might not see of it
often you have to dig deeper 
to know who is its keeper

For some it is a rare virtue 
that’s too good to be true 
while some believe in it 
as a thing of great grit

A pinch of it can do wonders 
and quieten the loud thunders 
make storms retract their paths 
and let souls forget their wraths

In grim times it might also crumble
but that’s when we need to stay humble 
and fill in our hearts a few of its shreds 
to embrace its unseeable divine threads

A little faith is all we need 
to sow in the sweet seed
and see it come to bloom
in all our moments of gloom 
in all our moments of gloom
