Keep The Faith Poem by Maria Luz de Castro

It is bliss to wish for death
When everything has gone awry
When solutions seem elusive
And it’s impossible not to cry.

I wonder when that day comes
If you would shed a tear
For all the love we had once
And the happy times we shared.

The night has come for me
And there can be no tomorrow.
Don’t believe the sun would shine
‘Cause my heart is in deep sorrow.

But a voice calls somewhere
Keep a stiff upper lip, my dear.
Today, you may be down and under
Next day, you may just drown in wonder.

Don’t lose the faith!
