Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

F a I T H

Faith shows allegiance. It's the firm belief in things unseen.
It's the trust the blind have when told the leaves are green.
A scientist has faith in principles, in things established as true.
He uses it as the basis to experiment, seeking something new.
A farmer has faith when he sows seed, then waits in expectation
of harvesting a bumper crop, but it takes work and dedication.

We can't see Winter wind, but believe it brings blizzard snows
and we know the wind exists because we shiver when it blows.
We haven't seen the face of God but have faith that He is real.
Without faith in our Father, we'd not have hope as a shield.

There are trials that put the strength of our faith to the test.
Scripture explains the importance of it in our lives the best,
"Everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness."*
They are the words of Jesus, at a time when people were heartless.
If we exercise faith in God's word, honor Him with deserved glory,
and believe Bible prophecy is true, we will never have to worry.

My heart was touched when upon His promise my sad eyes fell,
  "Take courage, daughter!   Your faith has made you well."**

*John 12:46
**Matthew 9:22
