Faith

My heart stays open 

In your tender care

We’ve lost our connection

But I feel you there



I may sit alone

But certainly not lonely 

My heart beats with yours 

And with yours only



Although your heart is closed

I stand firm and believe

It will open up to me again 

And you will entrust me with the key



I know what I ask won’t come easy

Supply the faith and I’ll give you the reason

Journey with me away from the dark

Return to me an open heart

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
