To Believe

He speaks 
To anyone who will listen
About the wonders of God
Not because he believes
But, because he needs to believe

In the end
His faith remains unshaken
Faith in others
Faith of life
Faith of love
And faith
In which
He has no faith to speak of
Except the need 
To talk about
His need to believe
