Third Place 

Naive Faith

In my early years I possessed this naive faith,
and I believed all that the Bible saith:
        often to a fault,
it came from a place of innocent faith;
           my life was simplistic with trust.

By fourteen I stopped expecting people to be kind,
I thought that I would find those of like mind:
        but found liars,
yet, my naive remains and I seek out and find;
            good people who believe in me.

And as an adult my naive quality is not weakness,
it is my source of strength and my uniqueness:
         I question everything,
I ask for evidence- gone is all my meekness;
           and I expect others to keep their promises.
