Finding Faith In My Own Library

Finding Faith
     
What happens to those who lose their way..
And don't understand to whom they should even pray..
To something that they believe is or is not real..
Although right now are confused because of how to feel..
Loss and so much of suffering to those who are so good..
And we are  supposed to believe it's just a test and still should..
Believe in God's plan for all that happens in our lives and that..
Questioning our maker is not what is right and so as I thought about it and I sat..
I thought of all the bad things that have come into our friends and  family's life and then..
My thoughts turned to how much love surrounded us with each of these horrible things and started to ponder once again..
I may not have faith for myself yet but I do see...
There must be something better for all of us and one day we..
Will either meet our maker or turn to dust and then...
There will still be no pain whether or not there is nothing or really is a heaven..
I pray for others and now for the answers I seek...
To get faith back into my life and my heart and to keep strong rather than weak..
So dear God I would like you to know I do believe you are there in some sense..
Because in a few cases I have found that without love that surrounds me I would already be in the past tense..
I promise to try and bring back my passion for life and believe in you once again..
It may take some time but when my faith comes to full tuition I will probably be in front of you then..
Praying that you forgive my sins of the past..
To be reuinted with my family and loved ones at last..
