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.

The Soup Rating System is a 1 to 7 ... 7 is the highest.. 1 is the lowest... everything in between is mid way either way... most poets are forgetting to rate as it is a new feature on this site.. but it helps out in the long run viewing all your poetry..especially when it mounts up to many pages... appreciate your comments on my poetry Shirley and welcome to the soup and hope u enjoy your stay.. also look at the blogs.. I just posted a new one tonight.. they are fun too.. any help ..just ask..
