May 7th

"I kept my faith, even when I said, 
    'I am greatly afflicted';" Psalm 116:10

it was faith who
opened their arms
to let me sob my heart out
when my soulmate died.
it was faith who sat
in the corner keeping 
an eye out on me when
i trembled in fear over
what tomorrow might bring.
it was faith who whispered
in my soul of how valued
i was when everyone else
mocked and rejected me.
it is faith who has been
my most trusted counselor,
my best friend, 
my cherished companion,
even when i thought
i was walking alone.
