Faith
Faith
I came to God the long way round
in choices that I’ve made.
I heard His voice throughout the years;
whispers in my ear.
She did not scold nor reprimand
shout brimstone — bellow hell.
Instead He laid his gentle love
one seed of thought to sprinkle on
in moments when in doubt.
As I grew old, I thought I knew
but still I searched for more.
She waited there with open arms
and never judged me wrong.
His rules are written in my heart
were placed with tender love
by mother — father guiding me
to find my purpose here.
Her whispers kept on calling me
so many years have gone.
I know the map I journey on
with God I walk in peace.
His rules are simple;
She cursed me not:
Don’t hurt another being.
He gave me Will
I chose to do
Her bidding here on earth.
His love is not confined within,
in words writ long ago.
Her wisdom is in everything
my will is to chose right.
I push you not to bend to me,
you’re free and here to chose.
He’ll guide you if you listen to,
Her voice is in your heart.
