Faith by Samia Mehbub

My heart beats loudly 

As these obstacles head 

Before me in every step 

That I take one at a time 

Leaping and falling 

Now taking it a few 

Steps back to start over 

Huge signs of 

Left, right, straight 

Huge signs of 

Up and down 

Muddled at the paths 

That is waiting for me 

Bruised knees from 

Wrong directions but 

Light in heart striving 

For the path that is my calling 

Is the one that brings the best 

Is the one that matters 

Holding me close 

Lifting me up 

Strengthening my 

Bones 

Whether I make it or not 

Is not the problem 

It's not meant to be simple 

But I only pray for strength 

To make promises with Angels 

And make a difference 

With every organ in 

My body that will 

Is 

Or 

Can 

Do it to those that care
