Faith Knows Not Fear
We fear our own demise
The closing of our eyes
A world that fades away
The dying of our last day
Whatever God you praise
Comes on that final day
The promises to keep
In your eternal sleep
Rewards of life lived right
Past seen in hallowed light
And joy is all that is found
As we trod the holy ground
The days we lived before

Our actions and our thoughts
Is how our future bought
And in our faith, we find truth
True belief comes without proof
Fear no longer the coming night
You have earned your promised light

This is a prayer in many ways and a lovely declaration of faith. I particularly love the way you closed the poem:
“And in our faith, we find truth
True belief comes without proof
Fear no longer the coming night
You have earned your promised light.”
Great work my friend. As a lover of God, I can certainly appreciate this poem. Take good care and all the best.

Nicely done Brad. Just a lovely poem. Have a great rest of the week my friend. Sending love ❤️ and lots of hugs 🤗 to you. Joni
Hugging you back, Jonikins! Thanks for all the love! 🥰
You are so welcome. It is my pleasure my friend. 🤗❤️💕love ya Jonikins
I believe faith is a wand we use to explore the magical unknown of our life, and what’s unknown definitely raise fear. Death is a known unknown, and faith is what guides us through the bleakness of life and uncertainty of death. A very good topic and as always wonderfully written 👌 😊
Thank you, Vinayak! Although I do not share the standardized Judeo/Christian faith, it is not beyond our ability to write about it. Thanks for all your support, my friend! Hope your are well and safe!
I doing well Brad and back again reading your poems. So all is good and amazing 😊
a topic I try not to think about too much… 🙂
I tried to keep it homogenous in wording so that it could apply to whatever God someone believes in. I to avoid the subject matter usually, for exactly the same reasons.
but you say things so eloquently…
