Faith

There are things that I believe
without touch or feel or taste,
but will not call impossible
in rational secular haste.

My heart accepts more than the mind
in serene sure clarity,
my faith in him is strong enough
to make a believer out of me.

Theories and experiments
give scientists a peek,
while spiritual epiphany
is enough for we who seek.

Believing we go to heaven
takes no scientific test,
just the sureness of his love
to be well and truly blessed.

For God will work his miracles
in the hearts of all mankind,
needing only faith and love
to accept what we will find.
