WHAT FAITH CAN DO

WHAT FAITH CAN DO

A Poem by Roxanne Arden Frost
"

So what happens when all hope dies? Faith finds a way. She always does.

"

 

When the night is lonely, dark and bleak

And everything is still

As still as death and cold as stone

No compassion, no goodwill

And you may think that all the world

Has come to a stop for you

You will stand and stare with wonder

At what faith can do

 

When you have come to the edge

Of all you’ve ever known

And you close your eyes and jump off the cliff

Right into the unknown

Just hold your breath and take your leap

And only two things you may find

You’ll land on fresh grass under your feet

Or you will be taught to fly

 

When you sit for days and months and years

Waiting for a special call

When everybody’s making it big

While you’re a flower on the wall

Faith isn’t faith until

It’s all you’re holding on to

And that is when you stop and wonder

At what faith can do

 

When you have come to the edge

Of all you’ve ever known

And you close your eyes and jump off the cliff

Right into the unknown

Just hold your breath and take your leap

And only two things you may find

You’ll land on fresh grass under your feet

Or you will be taught to fly
