Faith, the Hardest Bubble To Burst

Bubbles come in many forms,
some make you feel all fuzzy and warm
others are like ideas or schemes,
most however, are easily torn

Burping baby bubbles of gas,
bubbles blown that pop in the grass
football games, played in a dome,
a snow globe made of hand blown glass

Faith, as we know is a powerful sphere,
it holds us together, in a life full of fear
like a friend, you can count on, when times are the worst,
as like Christ on the cross, sheds a redeeming tear

You can count on your Faith, the Hardest Bubble to Burst,
even when the health of your body is cursed
with just a moment a day, silent in prayer,
believe in your Faith, the unquenchable thirst.

Dedicated to my Poet Friend, Carolyn Devonshire, With Love and Faith,
God Bless....Taz

For Debbie Guzzi's contest

Dear Richard, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. It is absolutely beautiful and I do count on faith to get me through this challenge. You're right, it's the "hardest bubble to burst." Mine remains steadfast and I am very touched by this beautiful poem. Thank you! Love, Carolyn
