Faith (young girls)

I have faith in you.

I have faith in your beauty and in your wisdom.

I have faith in your strength and in your frailty.

I have faith in all that you are,

in the little girls that I know and adore,

and in the young woman that I am anxious to meet.

I have faith in your dreams,

the dreams that are alive and strong,

and even in the dreams that lay dormant, waiting…

…waiting for you to have faith.

Faith (young women)

I have faith in you.

I have faith in your beauty and in your wisdom.

I have faith in your strength and in your frailty.

I have faith in all that you are,

in the woman that I know,

and in the little girl that I never got to meet.

I have faith in your dreams,

the dreams that are alive and strong,

and even in the dreams that lay dormant, waiting…

…waiting for you to have faith.

For the longest time I did not know which writing was more appropriate.

This was, by far, the darkest, loneliest and saddest part of my life.

Yet, somehow it has made me a better man….funny how that happens!
