Poem Artwork

Is it right that what we have lost
Was never ours by right? As is said,
The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.

Did my faith was borrowed from others,
As I was too young and too green before
To pay the price myself?

Is it true that now the time has come
To earn it if I want to have it back?
And I need it back to proceed ahead.

Faith is a funny (strange) thing, isn't it? I like the way you open the poem raising the question about our rights to faith: Is it ours. Then the realization that we need faith and it needs to be ours. An interesting write, Alex. Questions that force us to question ourselves.

My father was a very Christian man and brought me up teaching me wonderful things from the Bible and we went as a family every Sunday to church after I went to Sunday School. I didn't learn anything bad. My mother still believed in the old ways a bit (they were both from Finland)but we'd talk about those things while father was our of hearing range. I find God in nature and the night time sky.....All good stuff from her as well. Who's to say? 'Enjoyed, Alex!

Love ya!

Sometimes when children are born the family decides on their faiths, but it would be nice if the parents would let the children decide for themselves. Faith can come on to a person at any time any age. It's what that person believes that counts.
