Solid Faith

holding
                                                  myself upright
                                             walking along narrow
                                        strips of solid redeeming faith
                                                        trusting


                                                       handed
                                                  over all things
                                            and waiting on the Lord
                                      may not see immediate changes 
                                                       praying


                                                      message:            
                                               don't come to see
                                             can claim occupancy
                                  showing how I cared for this piece
                                                      peaceful


                                                       no heir
                                                 in city or town?
                                            foolish to not have any
                                  here there and everywhere collecting
                                                      prayerful

Rainbow: I've just read your last 18 or so works. Each amazingly different. Spanning from intensity to humor. I don't have the understanding for much of what you do, I'm a simple rhymer, but enjoyed each one in spite of my shortcomings. :o) Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. Keep them coming. oldbuck

Thanks Old Buck. Sometimes when I write, it depicts what is currently happening. Poets often use poetry to tell their story to those who care. Glad you enjoyed what I shared with you. I enjoy your rhymes too. God bless, Rainbow.
