Faith!
Why should I have Faith?
Most of my life I have followed,
Tried to follow the Christian way,
The way of forgiveness,
That Jesus has shown us,
My wife more so.
But what happens?
Her voice is taken from her,
That voice which has sung your praises,
Sung them for over seventy years!
Now you take her body from her,
So she struggles to get to Church,
But still goes as her Faith is still strong!
And now you take her mind,
Can no longer remember,
Always repeating.
Even now losing her Faith,
Even she questions it,
As do I.
Is this a punishment to me?
What have I done?
Now she suffers
And now I suffer as well,
As my life is spent
Caring for the one I love.
Caring for her,
To keep her safe.
My Faith is going,
Hers is increasing,
But it is changing,
To have Faith in me.
But I am only human
And can only help
Until I fall,
Fall into a chasm of despair.
