Quiet Faith


    Of quiet faith I’ve managed much to learn;
    its subtle power sometimes I can discern
    when, like a breeze, it touches me in turn.

    Its presence, so it seems, I only feel;
    and yet, I know it’s there, for it does heal
    in such a way my heart cannot conceal

    it’s happiness in living life each day.
    Those faith-like buds depict a sweet bouquet,
    and how it blooms, I now can clearly say:

    It’s faithful living, in a broader sense,
    without the need for worry or pretense.
    A spirit filled with love is recompense

    for every worldly trial I may endure--
    How funny that an essence so obscure,
    can offer up such hope and reassure!
