Devotion

Remember that the smallest seed of faith is of more worth than the largest fruit of happiness. - Thoreau

.

not what i had but what i continue to bring

faith both cost and gave me everything

keeper of the tide in my own ocean

not a new notion but an old devotion

Author's Note

"A man's real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag." - Thoreau
