The faith I had when just a child
Was part of every day.
On Sundays we would go to church
And there I'd learn to say
The Bible verses memorized
And listen to the tales
Of people who had realized
His loving never fails!

But as I grew, there was a time
My faith began to wane.
It took some troubled years before
I found my way again,
Back to the beliefs so early taught
And still as strong as then.
The belief that God All Powerful,
Still watches over men.
Now, I'm so thankful for my faith.
It strengthens me all ways
And brings the joy of blessedness
To my remaining days.

Betty Lou Hebert

This is so true of so many, Trillium.  We have to wander a bit before we get back.  . Joyce

To me your poem is an example of the great importance of teaching our children and all children in general about the stories found in God's Word.... and to remain faithful to believe that our chlidren will return to them one day as you have.  Bob <><

Often seems faith is far stronger in those who've strayed and returned.  Yes, learning in the early years (wheather or not understanding) is extremely important.  This piece emphasises that.  Very nicely done.
