In God We Trust Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

If so much in faith in God we trust
our love to share forever we must
lift our spirits in outreach so high
sifting away the rubbles to see the sky
every darkness in time will vanish
every light will sparkle without tarnish.

If with bruised hands our pain we must endure
our hope in time will keep us secure
this quake we know now leaves us in fear
every tremor more, more of despair
our parched lips in thirst we suffer
covered in dust in heat unable to utter-

Words like drum-beat our hearts to mutter
echoing through our songs without a stutter
yet singing in hope we pray and pray
glorifying our life with each new day
if so much in God we trust
our love to share forever we must.
