Faith

Cast in to the den of lions.
amidst all hungry lions;
You pray comfortably, “Father”?
I could be dumbstruck in fear! 
Intellect could find no answer.
one needs to be a child, I swear.
never go by sight, a myth!
always go by faith, the truth.

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.

So much said, in so few lines.....faith is not meant to come easy. Indeed, we must be child-like, to believe in what we don't understand, or can't see. Such an insightful poem. Ps.....thank you so much, it was such an honor to be among your winners in the platonic friendship contest !! I was so happy you enjoyed my poem, and I loved the other amazing poems!
