I've never posted anything or even read anything here so I hope my work fits in.  This poem is based around my religion.  I am not preaching or anything but I would like to share some of my beliefs for they are my foundation.

Long ago thrust into a world of hate
Christ brought light to everyone
He carved the path that we should all follow now
Acquainted with grief - he was alone

Are we not alone sometimes
Fighting for a reason to live
What is our purpose in life?
What in this live can we give?

There is hliness in all of us
There is truth that can be found
He will never leave our side
If we cross back to his ground

Remember that night that you cried aloud
For something to comfort and hold you
For an explanation of yourself
He hear... God really did hear you

'Come unto him'......
No longer fear the truth
Open your heart and see for yourself
Let faith replace the proof

That feeling which surrounds you
That Hope which enlightens you
That thought that entraps you
That peace which fulfills you

We are children of God
He loves us more than we can comprehend
God knows each and every one of us
And our sorrows... he can mend

Faith was not made to be horded
It was made to be shared
Just as you have done in your poem
Yes Thank God that KARI cared!

Thank you for your wonderful poem of Faith. That's just the thing that we encourage in this forum-the sharing of one's Faith, as a precious gift to all it's hearers. Don't be afraid, you are most welcome here!

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

Kari-

    My goodness, this is the second of your poems i have looked at and i am deeply, deeply impressed.  You mentioned your faith is your foundation(as it should be) and you can definitely see it in your writing.  For nobody can write so articularly of god's love unless they, themeselves have been witness to it. God Bless!

did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still...
and I felt---fascination...though I only knew you then--just casually...
then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction...
and my heart gave me away"....

The more, the merrier, Kari.  This place is where you belong, inspiring us and perhaps you'll find a few of others postings that will inspire you.  Very nice poem.
