He gives us hope
and calms our fears,
he helps us through
our struggles and tears.
With each soul taken
he gives a new life,
and helps us through
our heartaches and strife.
He gives us strength
to get through each day,
and helps us as
we each find our way.
For each of us
he sacrificed all,
he's there to listen
when upon his name
we do call.
It's true some people wonder
if he does exist,
while others addamantely
do insist.
Well, I can't help but believe
that it's true,
that a higher power
created me and you.
The debate continues,
although I think it's odd,
as for me I believe
in the power of God.

On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

As do I, thank you for reminding us of His grace.

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses
over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Rose, thank you dear Lady.  For me, when I wrote this it was more like a self confirmation that said, I might not always have as much faith as I should, but I do believe......I do....Thank you for taking the time to comment tonight Rose.  ~soft smiles and thanks~

I see that faith is on our minds a lot these days. . .

Excellent poem my friend. . .
