Faith

Thoughts, regrets and loneliness plague my soul.

How can I walk the path of righteousness with my
past peering over my shoulder?

Painful tears etch down my face, searing scars
into my heart.

The hollowness can never be filled with the deluge
of tears that overflow the banks into my soul.

The fiery pain of mistrust will only abate if I take His
hand and travel a higher road.

He will fill me with courage if only I can make that
difficult first step.
