Faith's GraceA Poem by MargueriteBetrayal of trust, love and faithIt started out as little things, things that were not true I closed my eyes to little things, so much faith I had in you. Time and time little things grew, honor proved untrue I closed my eyes to larger things, So much faith I had in you. There came a day for me to prove, that faith does conquer fear And to my heart,vows to stay, to stay forever near. Time had told that trust proved false, you had disappeared Without a word you shattered trust, and left me to what I feared. And when the one you left for, no longer served your need Once again and again, your thoughts returned to me. With gentle words and promises, you spoke directly to my faith Never once regretting, the betrayal of faiths grace. Time progressed and many things, to realness proved untrue Keeping me in a hidden place, not allowed to accompany you. Whispered words from all around, pictures before my eyes The truth of why you kept me far, protect time and time past lies. And at this time can you believe, with so much shown untrue And all the pain, disgrace and shame, I didn’t loose faith in you. Time again and once again, I read things with my eyes To others you meet - to me false, and promises were lies. And again handwritten, a conditioning to be untrue How and how to betray, the faith I had in you. Love born faith so hard to shake, strong, consistent and true No remorse for betraying grace, faith's grace eluded you.
