Donna Burns Poet Imagism

Kiss of Faith

I looked upon the lord ...High up in the sky....
 This i found strange . . As he never replied ...
 My silent cries off need .. Yet Never heard......
 An unmarried mother.. Battered and bruised ..
 I just had no faith ..For To carry me on ..
 
Kiss off death .. Ive had so many times ..
 Cut , Bleeding Broken on the floor ..
 
Tiny kids by my side . . Needing me so . . 
Still i got up ... Tried, tried and tried again ...
 A gentle smile he had . With a touch to ma face..
His Tiny hand wiped my tears .. "Awww Mum" ..
 With a very big hug ... 

A gentle kiss on my cheek... This was all i needed.
 A kiss of faith .. To carry on ....
 From my very young son ...
