Faith
Its the embrace you feel at night,
the one that holds you tight.
Its the dawn that breaks,
its the healing when the heart aches.
Its the knowing no matter what,
it remembers when you've forgot.
Its the hope in the darkest days,
it reminds you to pray.
Its the moment you know for sure,
that all is truly good and pure.
No matter how dark it seems,
it is the constant beam.
Its the feeling deep to your core,
that it is worth fighting for.
It quiets the voice of doubt,
it makes you cheer and shout.
Faith showers you with light.
Faith lets you know, it will be alright.
