R: Reflections in Rhymes: FAITH

Faith is an anchor: it keeps you on shore;

Doubt is a sail: it helps you explore.              

Those who swear that faith is true Have their own faith in view.             

If a person’s heart you wish to break Try that person’s faith to shake.                     

Wreck not a faith that is deep If you can’t offer ought else to keep.              

They’re targets oft of peoples’ hate Who a people’s faith do desecrate.                

When pain and sorrow afflict the mind In faith can one solace find.                 

Faith can’t cure all physical ills; But other needs it amply fills.             

Gods above can’t subsist If faith below doesn’t exist.                 

Faith isn’t belief with no proof for it It’s belief with proof for the opposite.

Faith accepts without asking for reason As one eats meals without thought of poison.
