Dear Faith,

When I was still young at age, I thought, that for you,

attending Sunday church was all I had to do.

Little did I know about that inner struggle,

when the tricky devil played his game of juggle.

Defenselessly tempted, it was easy to fall,

drowning in sin, I never heard your rescue call.

It took me time to realize we were apart;

when I did, you  hurried that combat to its start.

While I was viciously fighting the enemy,

it was so much harder than I thought it would be.

But the seed of that weapon granted from above,

was  born with me, it is that miracle called Love.

While watering it for me, my dear, sincere  Friend,

enlightenment within gave me strength to defend.

Perspectives, priorities and my whole world changed,

when I won that beastly war, a new life I’ve gained.

I thank you, dear Faith, to you I owe those feelings

of contentment, gratitude, patience in dealings

I appreciate all I have, give and forgive,

peace surrounds me, ever since it’s with you I live .

                                                 Sincerely yours,

                                                        Pupa
