Faith Poem by Tim Kitchen

Faith.

My faith was never a beacon of light
more of a flickering candle at night.
My Father's beliefs were always strong
perhaps somehow I got it all wrong.
In spite of those hymns I love to sing
for me it's more a borderline thing.


But I see things in a different way
I don't spend time praying each day.
For me God's love is practical too
shared with others in the things we do.
Through help we give to those in need
whoever they are, whatever their creed.


A man lies bleeding in the dark of night
prayer won't save him and make him alright.
A helping hand will, so that's what I'll do
and he may feel God's love there too.
Maybe I'm right or maybe I'm wrong
but this is how me and faith get along.
