Devotion Notion

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

in a world of cotton apathy and disloyalty

robes, crowns and stabs in the back seen as relics of faith's fallen royalty

i cling to a sharp allegiance

but steel can be cold

and rusty when it gets old

despite a contract signed in blood that reads, "sold"

i wield a sword that's subtle but bold

knowing that inactive metal can grow mold

because urgent prayers neither wait on hold

nor need to be scrolled and rolled

Author's Note

"Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." - Thoreau

WOW Pete the song just hit me!!! I love that one and your words are right there....there is a season for love, faint, truth....we must believe in faith...even for small things...confidence is a kind of faith...and one doesn't have to be religious to feel it....faith is strength!
Great! and i played the song three times!!!
Warmly, B
