-- Faith’s Certainty --

John Herlihy

 

Faith’s challenge,

To see what cannot be seen.

Faith’s promise,

To see what waits to be seen.

Faith’s purpose,

To see what needs to be seen.

Faith’s desire,

To see what wants to be seen.

Faith’s secret,

To see what need not be misused

Faith’s lie,

To see what need not be abused.

Faith’s curse,

To see as one blind.

Faith’s blessing,

To see even if blind.

Faith’s mysteries,

To see what they mean.

Faith’s certainty,

To see the Unseen.

Reviewed by Rebecca McKeehan

Faith is such a "big" word as it encompasses all things to all people. Some cling to their spiritual faith when times get harsh while others choose to simply believe that better times are coming. To have faith in another person means laying your heart on the line and sometimes, that the bridge won't collapse beneath you. Faith is the more active brother or sister of Hope.

THE WORD SAYS '...WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS 'IMPOSSIBLE' TO PLEASE GOD...' THUS, WITHOUT ANY QUESTION; THE NECESSITY OF FAITH...IS A CERTAINTY! BRAVO! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

A very true discourse, whether supernatural or in everyday life. A word that is often limited in use because of persons ushering its lexicon meaning into an isolated focus.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

Sunrise of Thought by Bruce Humphrey

Welcome! The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help. Beautif
