36.closer to the Father

i can't remember when was the last time

that I caught myself about to smile

with all this bunch of unhappy things

i'd  bet it has been quite a while

lately my days are filled with worries

and challenges that brings me down

it's hard to smile, much more, to laugh

i think, even if i see a clown.

scary thoughts of unknown sickness

i need to muster courage to find out

my head is bursting with thoughts of illness

everyday, to me, are continuous bouts

wavering faith is not good at all

if we allow it, it will make us falter

connect with friends who love the Father

keep one another in fervent prayer

it is good to listen to people of strong faith

they give you strength to muster

your own faith grows and brings you closer

to God, our Heavenly Father
