Faith

Faith, indeed, is all the reform that is needed; it is itself a reform. - Thoreau

crossed hearts

hands 'pon black books

in foxholes and hospital rooms

the habits of nuns

those undeserving on the wrong end of guns

steadfast

stained glassed

at long last

not a coin tossed or flipped

what's mumbled on desperate, quivering, praying lips

what falling tears of fear and joy saith

a thing called faith

Author's Note

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