Faith is a force that guides us
a beacon in the murk
An accouchement of hope and strength
In the face of trials in our promenade
It gives comfort in the misery
In a life adjacent to struggles
For some, its found in the ancient texts
And others, in the supernatural.
It teaches us to be faithful
in the darkest moments
That grasps tight
And becomes a weight on the shoulders
A heavy load to bear
