Keeping Faith

I cannot boast of a life of piety

But always I try to do my duty 

To myself and to all life

Yet no matter my strife

Every day I am feeling sore

Broken to the core

From emotional starvation  

With no promise of salvation

Each and every day

To God always I pray

With hope for an answer

The hope of a man with a cancer

Malignant and incurable

But keeping faith for a miracle
