Faith
Your bathing in redemption
sinking into new skin
as your old self
opens your eyes
to the new life
preservation and strife
empties the rage
and overcomes the danger
looking into the mirror
you see a stranger
you stare at the image
and your memory
has a limit
every thought you think
in every action you take
for every breath you breathe
is no longer another mistake,
your soul has bonded
your body looks the same
you face is no different
nothing on the outside
has changed
but a lack of hate
a loss of fear
added need
to a Godly love
to look into the eyes
of heavenly beauty
faith and hope
an honorable duty
