Faith
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
One's faith kept to keep,
Is never without it being tested.
Or rest to get,
To leave those faithful to perceive...
They have been immune,
From emotions to feel sorrow and grief.
But yet it is faith.
And a daily routine of prayer that saves,
The ones who stay and remain...
Knowing,
If it had not been for faith kept to keep...
And a life blessed to get and receive,
A facing of obstacles to endure...
Moments to feel doubts and negativity.
That come to go temporarily.
Love, happiness and joy would not exist.
To lift those up from their despair.
And anguish.
Believing not to abandon or question,
There has to be a God that has done this!
With faith kept tested.
Through ups and downs.
Of a life blessed to experience,
Temporarily as it is known to be.
