Leap of Faith

like a toddler
or a child's first bike
a teen's first date
a mountain climber's first hike

like a warrior's first war
or a mother about to give birth
a true leap of faith
means much in its worth

we forget in day to day
how at risk we are
whether we step out of doors
or into our own car

how close we are to "not"
but believing all the while
that somewhere around us all
are the angels, and their smiles

in many ways, we leap to faith
sometimes misguided are our steps
and we exchange throughout our days
what we should for what should be kept

but when the truest leap of faith is taken
that is when the truest of lights awaken

I like this! We often forget how close we are to death everyday! This really captures the small moments in life- how important they really are. Great poem!

Wonderful lesson of faith! Jesus grant us the humility to know that we need to trust in You at every moment and with all our hearts!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

That leap of faith to jump where we cannot see, what we don't know, the faith is knowing Jesus is there on the other side to catch us.

There is nothing more tentative that an leap of faith....and nothing more rewarding than to feel you have landed safely...

Beautiful writing, Sunshine.......
