In Memory of Faith
While on my way to church
I was always tempted
to wander by the creek
to scare up the green snakes.
But I sat in pews choked
by unholy perfume,
tried my best to believe
it was You in that room.
Not even Our Father
could save me Hail Mary!
I forgot half the words,
and heard Hell was scary.
I was praying that He
was well rested that day,
I hoped that He’d listen
to the way that I pray.
I had tried to believe,
so I thought we should speak,
went to meet after church
down the hill, by the creek…
But a young girl was there
sitting on the creek bed-
my prayers were answered
by an Angel, instead.
