My Faith Will Move On Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

My Faith Will Move On

Rating: 4.8


My cupboard’s a mess,
my sink filled with lye

My stables now empty,
my well has gone dry

My pastures are fallow,
my timber all burned

My streams have been fished out,
and what have I learned

The cupboard can be restocked,
the sink can be cleaned

A new well can be dug,
a new colt can be weaned

As the saplings are planted,
new roe will then spawn

All these troubles will pass,
- - and my faith will move on

It takes a positive faith to get positive results; and faith keeps those who keep the faith. A sublime depiction of true faith in God. Thanks for sharing and do remain blessed.
