            ~~~~~
       torn and tattered
       yesterday's dreams
       drape themselves
       wearily over
       Hope's closet door
       desperately in need
       of the
       healing stitchery
       that can only
       be administered by
       Life's expert tailor -
             Faith
             ~~~~~

Without Faith, it's really difficult to get through life.

Wonderfully written Chris ...

Your title drew me in, and I am so glad I stopped by to read. Faith is a wonderful fabric to weave, even when it's tattered it binds the threads that give us hope.

Loved the way you wrote this Chris~
