+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
With Faith there's conviction,
And utmost certitude.
There's trust and assuredness,
That what you believe is true.

It's unswerving dedication,
And devout loyalty.
It's confident steadfastness,
And complete fidelity.

With Faith there is hopefulness,
And optimistic notions.
There are certain expectations,
And unwavering devotions.

The faithful are believers,
In tenets held with zeal.
It's a knowing in their hearts,
And how their truths do feel.

With Faith there is allegiance,
An eagerness to please,
But intolerance of others,
Brings war, unrest ~ unease.

No matter what persuasion,
Be it doctrine, sect, or creed,
We're all on Earth together,
And each one of us does bleed.

Sunshine ~

Actually, I did do one on Patience but I cannot find it. I did, however, find this senryu I wrote about "Impatience"!

"WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!?"

+*+*+
Anticipation
Is half of the fun, you say!
~But I cannot wait!

I must learn patience?
All good things come in good time?
~And you call this fun?

I'm a girl at heart.
I cannot wait much longer.
May I open box?

May I take a peek?
~No? Then may I have a clue?
Please don't torture me!

May I have gift now?
The suspense is killing me!
WHAT IS IN THE BOX?!?

I hear this one deeply.  I am all about tolerance.  Ooooh, I could get on my soap box, but I won't

I love the one on impatience.  Gads, that's me.  That's why I was blessed with the child I've been given, my lesson in patience.   Ah, but I love her beyond measure, so the lesson is worth it.

Have a great day --

  Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

(big angel hugs) As always your golden heart pours out with aith and golden-hearted convictions, sweet friend, I wish all could understand we all bleed the same color and that we are all children of God and we can love one another as siblings in the universal family, God Bless You, with faith I believe this day can come, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You're such a pet. God love you! Anyhoo, here is a Tanka I once posted:

Hope springs eternal
In hearts of the faithful fold,
Pray on bended knee.
Show thanks for all your blessings,
Lend a hand to those in need.

Loves 'n hugs,
Linda
