Dear Loving Faith

Dear loving Faith I’ve lost you years ago But today behind these prison bars You bring hope to this meaningless life And made me understand what my purpose is Faith you have brought me acceptance This made me realize my mistakes In my solo state in this prison cell I have found it hard to get you out of my mind Faith you have comforted me when nobody cares And showed me vital family roles No matter how much I have denied you And all the trouble I have caused I still see your presence smiling down at me At a time in my life when I was out of control Faith you took me on another journey Which today, I am proud to show the knowledge acquired And I stand proud to say that I have faith Although it has taken the worst to realize your importance From an addict to a convict Faith you stood constant and made me feel trustworthy again Faith you have brought a want to change and do good in me I now stand with the surety that I have faith in life And how you remind me of a miraculous woman At once she became the mother I wished to have And gave me the sisters I never had And through all differences she remembers me in jail Faith you have made me who I am now A better man who is seeking to find faith in God And coming to think of it this woman’s name is Faith And may God bless this humble woman and give her faith in me.
