Having Faith

I need not see God to know how he influences my choices in life

     Having faith means believing in what we cannot see

I can't touch him, but still sense the ghostly spirit of the man who called me wife

     Some people view the power of faith as a mystery

     A bright future filled with love and eternal life they cannot foresee

Audrey Haick Date: 4/10/2011 7:25:00 PM I often wonder why others find it hard to believe in a God whom we can not see, when we believe the air exists though we can't see that either. Take it away we perish, the say as living without God. Very inspirational and introspective poem Carolyn! Blessings and love, Annalise Login to Reply
