Save It for Later?

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

hard to cry without shedding a tear

difficult to grow old without passing a year

tough to see natural wonders and not be awed

inconceivable to pray without talking to god

problematic to die without giving up breathing

troublesome to be born without believing

challenging to light a candle without having a spark

vexing to float apart from building an ark

arduous to defend if you don't have a reason

tricky to dress when you don't know the season

difficult to catch a falling knife

awkward to be married without a wife

effortful to wear gold and not look gaudy

never too late to yell, "help me somebody"

unenviable to balance on the edge of a crater

baffling to have faith if you save it for later

Author's Note

"The words which express our faith and piety are not definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like frankincense to superior natures." - Thoreau
