Faith Not Fear

"Have faith and not fear
 I love you my dear."

How can a woman 
Such as myself
Resist these words
And not fall herself?

I am wary for a reason
For life has been unkind
Love has been shaken
And I have been blind.

I feel that I am unworthy
And that I am forever
Meant to be alone
That this I must endeavor.

You see me as strong
And sometimes outspoken
Yet I am still fragile 
And a part of me is broken.

I want to love again
And to feel the sun
Yet I feel I can't
For I am not the one.

The one who is happy
The one who is glad
For right now I am 
The one that is so sad.

I must admit though
Your persistance is 
Finally getting through
All of my emotional fizz.

I see the light is near
That I may finally be
Happy for once and
That someone loves me.

Please be patient
For sometimes I slip
Stay with me though
And my mood shall flip.

"Have faith and not fear
 I love you my dear."

Wonderful write, Kristy, and so enjoyed your words.. we are all looking for "Prince Charming" or "Cinderella" and faith will sustain us in our search... saw your response on James Fraser's Undesirable poem.. this is quite an enormous issue.. if u could just e mail Poetry Soup Management on the HOME page and protest this new poet degrading our site it would help out.. appreciate it.. thankxxx...
