Emile Pinet Poet Blank verse

A Powerful Force

Faith is a powerful force;
requiring absolute trust.
It allows you to believe:
you are loved, and not alone.

Suffering persecution:
sometimes, all you have is faith.
And yet, it's unshakable;
in times of adversity.

Praying perpetuates hope:
opening your heart to God.
And when you first feel His love;
everything you thought: changes.

Belief can imbue your life
with a strong sense of purpose.
Existence should never feel
empty or unfulfilling.

The love that you have for God:
it is rooted in blind faith.
And yet, that faith sustains you;
nourishing your heart and soul.

L. J. Carber November 25, 2020 at 10:49 AM I admire those who, like yourself it seems, have an innate sense of God--for myself, well, He had to whack me as a young man pretty hard to get my attention, but he's had my attention--and love -for 50 years. I used to think life had no meaning--now I know it has much we only grasp a bit of it. Emile Pinet November 25, 2020 at 2:45 PM Thanks so much L.J., you have managed to bring a smile to my day my friend, Emile.
