FAITH, by                    
First Line: What would man do without his daily faith
Last Line: A force to keep his stature straight and tall!
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


What would man do without his daily faith
That gives his crumbling world re-strengthened shape;
That forms a holy shroud for man's mere wraith,
And lends horizon to his vision-scape!
What would the morrow have to hold for him
In promise of his future destiny?
Would he not think of time as something dim,
And space but filled with dread infinity?
Man must have faith to bear his burden long,
To shed the spark of hope to all his dreams;
To make him ever great and good and strong --
The full investiture of what he seems --
Thus must man's inner faith be all-in-all --
A force to keep his stature straight and tall!
