Faith

Faith is the lantern that lights the dark,
It is the flame that never goes out.
Faith is the hope that lives in our hearts,
It clears our path of stones and weeds.
Faith is the energy that fuels our will,
It chases the nightmares that pursue us.
Faith is a trusty promise that can't be broken,
It is the food and drink that keeps us marching.
Faith feeds our confidence,
It chills the hearts of enemies.
Faith is the flag that cannot be burnt down,
It is the sword that represents freedom.
Faith is the bright star in the night sky,
It brings out the moon to shine our way.
This is faith.
