I Believe Because I Am Told To Believe

Belief comes in various forms
for many treasons we will do so
there's a system within at work
to believe not comes to hit low

Poets have a way with this
as Christina has always shown
believing how good they are
bringing alive from a full stone

"I believe" needs to be true
a deep conviction to assure
that you're sure you believe
this comes to a doer

Our final authority is God
who tell us to believe in Him
bow before His majesty supreme
keep on believing up to the brim

Be obedient to God's call
He knows what's for your best
trust Him for every moment
feel His presence near your breast

This is a profound poem. If there wasn't faith, there would be no church. I liked the openess of your poem. It makes me think.
