What Faith Implies

You want to believe in God
but feel befuddled and awed.
And yet, you'll oft pray to Him
whenever prospects look grim.
Regardless of what you're told,
faith is often bought and sold.
And when you think you can't win,
it's difficult not to sin.
Once you get exposed to hate,
obstacles accumulate.
And lies manipulate you;
so little truth trickles through.
When happiness seems fleeting,
your beliefs take a beating.
And you start to question why
children should suffer and die.
There is no explaining faith;
it's a hope, more than a wraith.
But once entrenched in your heart,
you can't force it to depart.
Upon breathing their last breath,
eternal souls don't fear death.
For souls shed their mortal guise;
at least; that's what faith implies.
