With Faith Unshakened Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

With faith unshakened,
And taking steps to look ahead...
Instead of down to find more sorrows,
Trust you must that obstacles you face...
Come to test your unshakened faith.
Feel protected...
As if victory to accept is yours.

Since kept faith eliminates deceptions,
Of fear to keep it interpreted.
Dare to face these created perceptions.
If your kept faith is real and felt,
Why stay on your knees to receive direction?
Especially when you hadn't made a move,
To prove what you claim is unshakened.

'That's easy for you to say.
Why are you walking the other way? '

Testing my faith and collecting blessings.
I've gotten so accustomed to facing obstacles,
I'm backtracking to ensure...
I haven't overlooked any.

'Why? '

I didn't realize when I decided,
To get up off my knees...
How easy it was to walk in faith.
And today you may see me all over the place.
Walking. Talking to myself. And sometimes laughing.

'You're nuts! '

Thank God.
