Dressing up for church
Hair combed, shoes polished, my Sunday best
My youthful restlessness
My faith saves me.
College classes
Late night parties
Temptations to drink and experiment with drugs
My faith saves me.
I do’s in a chapel
Honeymoon on a beach
Adjusting to another to start a life
My faith saves me.
Babies and birthdays
Family vacations
Still Sunday mass and brunches
All my joys
My faith saves me.
Drug addiction
Problems in school and with the police
Arguments between us
Parents aging quickly
Money too tight
All my struggles and pain
I turn to my roots.
My faith saves me.
Achy bones
Blurry vision
Faulty hearing
Can’t remember
Death takes him
Alone for the first time in forty years
My faith saves me.
Prayer
I close my eyes.
Everyone I love is here.
HE whispers softly. “It’s time. Your faith has saved you.”
A blessed and happy Easter to everyone!! ♥
