To love oneself enough to give
If only but a smile
To feed the hungry, touch the sick
And walk that extra mile
To have the strength to stand up
For principles truth and love
To never buckle under storms
To thrive when times are tough
To instigate peaceful things
Join strangers hand in hand
Carnage, war, hunger, strife
Hard times have hit these lands
To wipe tears from our childrens eyes
Amidst our worldly lessons
To raise them right, the glass half full
Their future brightly beckons
To sense and trust, there’s good in all
To cry and learn from bad
Open up our hearts and minds
Unique, we all have paths
To see the dark, yet bathe in Light
In truth I’ve surely learned
This word may be a noun to some
But faith is an “action” word

When I first started writing, my Mother gave me this idea..she wanted me to write a poem that expresses the "action" that faith entails. Hope you enjoy.
