James Michael

Man of Faith

Hardships and tests of faith 

came to a humble man.

Tests too great for the man.

Stumbling and falling daily.

Was this God’s plan?

With his right fist he cursed

the life he had.

The day offered no peace.

The night offered no rest.

Friends became enemies.

His lover became a stranger.

 

An angel came to him in a dream;

faint whispers from a distant place.

Comfort consumed his soul.

 

He realized his earthly life

was not the end.

He realized that faith 

should be his guide.

With all his heart and mind

he arrived to a place he belongs.
