Faith

Faith is believing
without question
in something 
that cannot be proven to exist
for which there is
no proof
that it does indeed exist
I believe
therefore 
it must be true
it must exist
further proof
is evidenced by the millions who believe as I do
we cannot all be wrong
those who do not believe
are mistaken
misguided
blinded to the truth
and must prove
that it doesn’t exist 
how quaint
there being no proof
that it doesn’t exist
is proof that it does exist
circular logic springs to mind
proof of its existence 
lies in the unshakable belief
that it does exist
even though
it cannot be seen, held or touched
and never has been
seen, held or touched
it does exist
I believe that it exists
and therefore it must exist
faith
what a truly wondrous and comforting thing it is
for those who believe.

Faith is what gives us hope. That is the key. Your last line makes this poem.
