Sweet Faith

I wrote this because my mom got into a bad car accident today. Thank God she is alive. I don't care if it's not good, but I wanted to remember this day. 12/19/08. Thank You, Lord. :)

Faith.

How was I supposed to know,

What that truly meant?

My life had no trauma,

There was no hardship,

Yet, all the while I felt,

Like something was missing.

Faith.

Mothers teach us all we need to know,

To survive in this world,

I didn't realize,

That I had to learn this one,

With help from the Lord.

Today, faith came to me,

In the form of a phone call.

God set my mind at rest,

With the sound of my mother's voice.

Thank You, God, my Sweet Faith.

For everything You've taught me,

And thank You for giving me,

More time with my mother.

Poetry is more than words and rhymes...it is also thoughts and feelings, here we have feelings expressed with hope and gratitude...what greater poetry could there be? I pray your mother recovers quickly from any injuries.

Yes--thank God she's alright. These things happen and we're never prepared for them. You are truly a passionate, loving young lady, and your parents must be very proud of you.
