THE CHOICE OF FAITH

The reality of life is but a mystery,

So cryptic is the puzzle of life’s destiny,

You could be richer in wealth but not in health,

Yet the destiny of both is too similar – but too different,

All you need is but one thing – faith.

The beauty of life is still a mystery,

So unfolding in the least of expectations,

For those victorious now could be losers then,

Yet the struggle of both is happiness – not pain,

Thus you need one thing – whose name is faith.

The promise of life is a perfect mystery,

Never a reflection of its crystal-clear blue- prints,

Since the wind of hope could be erased with another of hopelessness,

Yet all those who hope have doubt,

Thus the cries of the soul – it needs faith.

Though the mountain-climb is steep,

Though the sea’s windstorms are deep,

And the journey of life very rough,

Though the ride in the boat is bedeviling,

Though the turn of events is unpredictable,

Though the voice of reason is indecipherable,

Though friendships are unbearable,

Though self-set goals unreachable,

Though life’s burdens incomprehensible,

Look no further, search no more,

You have the answer in the choice of faith!
