Faith…

“I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don’t even try to tell me different.”

Dolly Parton

Katie closed her eyes and prayed

It was, after all, a holiday

She didn’t often go to church

It didn’t resemble her faith much

Yet in her heart, she felt a pull

She always had since starting school

A little voice that said “believe”

And in that voice she found relief

It may not be the common faith

But in her heart, it had found its place

Be kind, be curious and in all things love

This was the faith that she dreamed of.

This week’s topic on WQW was Faith/Hope. A difficult subject. One I am highly unqualified to discuss in reality so I have gone for a simple poem. I believe everyone’s faith is personal to them, in the same way each friendship, romance, dream, desire and life is personal. I don’t think a one-size-fits-all will ever be accepted by everyone, so your beliefs or faith may be slightly different to the next person, but that’s okay. The closest single message is the #BEKIND campaign, which I think all of the world wishes was more true. ❤
