YOUR ROSARY by NAOMI REYNOLDS

First Line: HALF AWAKE
Last Line: YOUR FAITH SHALL PROVE ENOUGH FOR TWO.
Subject(s): FAITH; ROSARY; BELIEF; CREED;

Half awake,
I feel your cool smooth pillow;
Wakening,
I slip my hand beneath and clasp
Your rosary, until the beads cut far into my hands.
It was for you to touch them lovingly,
To ponder on their holy mysteries.
Enough for me,
Only to press them close and know
Your faith shall prove enough for two.
