Holiness and
faith are the rewards:
In doing lies the promise of
becoming.
Given what a life of faith
affords,
How could one not still be in the
running?
Holy days are opportunities,
Open doors to being who one would.
Longing to be touched by grace, one
sees
Yet one more chance to choose the
wished-for good.
Do not think that faith is ever
certain:
All one's life, like love, it comes
and goes.
Yet one can always stand before the
curtain,
Singing for one's soul the prayers
one knows.
