Notes About The Poem

Faith Bird

Faith Bird

By Mark D. Stucky

 “Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.” -- Rabindranath Tagore


Faith bird, please sing to me!
Stream music in my heart!
For the night is long,
and I need your song.

Faith bird, please help my doubt
about your promised dawn.
If you do, I’ll hold on tight
in this deepest, darkest night.

Faith bird, I will cherish you.
I will feed and nourish you
to keep your beautiful feathers bright
and for you to have a healthy life.

Faith bird, I will never cage you.
Freely explore all you can view,
but return and perch near to me
to sing your journey melodies.

Faith bird, sing not only to me.
Sing to others who are in need,
to others who long to feel the light
in the dark and cold of lifelong night.
