growth in trust

12.11.05 (8:38 am)   [edit]

We don’t know what we have until we lose it


We take what we have for granted until it is gone,


Or perhaps taken from us,


By force or by chance.


Our possessions,


Our health,


Our friend’s,


Can be gone in an instant.


Life hangs by a thread though we forget,


Perhaps for the good;


Denial is not always bad,


It allows us to continue until IT happens.


Neither faith,


Nor being good,


Or honest will stop that.


Life happens to all of us.


No escape nor should there be.


The road must be walked to the end


The chalice must be emptied


Until our pilgrimage is over


And we hope against hope


That our faith is based on truth


And not on a lie,


The growth in trust is based on a decision


To run the race to the end


And when it comes


To dive into the unknown


Into the light.
