Shirley Bracken Poet Free verse

Faith

Faith
a never ending flowing stream
I beg the weary traveler
stop and take a sip
especially in times of thirst and sorrow
I will refresh your soul

Faith
a cool peaceful summer's night  
I beg the silent bird to sing
fly and sing your song
relax and know tomorrow the sun will shine
I will restore your voice

Faith
a red petal of the softest rose
I beg of the believer
wait it is not time to harvest
best to keep planted and let it grow
I will rebuild your strength.
