Faith

by Regan Smith

When all others see only a mirage, 
Faith sees the whole vision–
and oh what a joy she brings, 
being able to have full confidence
in the land that is ahead. 

In this vision, there is a valley 
encompassed by mountains, 
and with each foot’s step, 
there is a vantage point of glory. 

This is the land that’s been promised to her, 
and she shares it with me now, too. 

While this whole land was made 
with her specifically in mind, 
her favorite space is a field of sunflowers;
together they radiate their praises. 

Today, Faith is content and confident. 
She will share her vision with others, and 
with each word she speaks, she plants the seed
of faith and hope; their awakening grows, 

and another sunflower is added to her field.
