Why do I look for the living among the dead?
My flesh denies what my heart sees.
I am still too stubborn to let down my eyes and
Accept what my heart knows to be true.

My flesh still looks for the living among the dead,
For it does not know the difference.
I see with my physical eyes, an explanation to every
Miracle in God's Creation.

I must remember and have faith.
I am dead in the flesh,
But alive in spirit!

I must have faith in that which I cannot see,
Instead of that which my puny frail eyes can see.
Only a fool says "There is no God".

Such sad truth I see in this poem. Great work!!
