My Lord, Faith Is A Path Poem by Gert Strydom

that spirals up to You
on which at times I do stumble and fall
and then do get up again to head on.

It is much more than only to know that You do exist,
It’s to know that You do want to and that You can
and that You do want only the very best for me

and it’s difficult to become selfless like You,
to lie down my own will to You and for others
and sometimes I do struggle to understand
how my life does still fit into the world

and sometimes it’s as if I do look into a mirror
to only see what it does reflect,
just to see how my own life looks
without the power to look further on

but love has got the ability
to hope and to trust
that at all times You do know the best.
