Faith, a beacon in the dark,
gives assurance to my heart.
Tolerance, a colourful dress,
for days of sorrow and distress.
Every seam, a mother\'s touch,
gifted and compassionate,
Stitched together: love and hope,
to help me tolerate and cope.
From the pain and from despair,
to a brighter, better day,
with faith there as my guiding light,
and tolerance as my array.
Faith and tolerance a shield
against the trials in my life.
A shield that keeps my spirits strong,
within the midst of all my strife.
And so I wear a colourful dress,
With pride and with much gratitude,
for faith and tolerance, they bless,
they fill my heart with fortitude.
