Seeds of Faith

Faith takes a tremendous amount of trust and when you've had little trust in others it's difficult to have faith.

A friend wrote about his reluctance to believe in God,

  as I read, all I could do was nod.

    I know that feeling of pride,

      not wanting to be taken for a ride;

        but then, my heart races,

          should I be safe and cover all the bases?

 

If He is for real,

 I don't think He'll make a deal.

  Faith, it's a leap into the unknown

   and my seeds of faith were never sown.

    At my age, I'd better get off the fence,

      but it's difficult, when I want everything to make sense.
