Faith

Did your mother used to talk to you 
Or tell you where to go 
Did she comfort you in your hour of need
Or stand up for you when your troubles could not be freed

Did your father help you 
When your life was going down
Was he there when you needed him
Was he around
Did he kneel beside you when you could not speak
Or did he pass you 
And make you out as weak 

Time will tell
As its not all hell 
When you break through the barrier
You will bounce back like a warrior 
Hold yourself together
And you might just live forever .
