I am faith

I am Faith born as a small seed planted in the soil,

ready to grow into a mature oak tree.

I am Faith growing slowly unaware of my own strength,

due to the shadows covering my branches.

I am Faith with roots thriving deep below trying to hold on,

as winds kept forcing me to tip over; stopping me from progressing.

I am Faith patiently waiting for the sun to shine its warmth,

for new life to grow revealing my buds bearing fruit.

I am Faith with unshakable habit that won’t be pruned away,

with strength, joy, and fulfillment; promised by God Himself.

I am Faith that is not seen by the naked eye, but by the humble of heart.
