My Faith Will Move On
My cupboards a mess,
my sink filled with lye
My stables now empty,
my well has gone dry
My pastures left fallow,
my timber all burned
My streams have been fished out,
and what have I learned
The cupboard can be restocked,
the sink can be cleaned
A new well can be dug,
a new colt can be weaned
As the dams are reopened,
new roe will then spawn
These troubles will pass
—and my faith will move on
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
