faith

remember that faith comes in a mustard seed
water it with what you have
be it tears of joy or sorrow or the sweat of your toil
let it be a labor of love

remember that from the darkest night
dawn is brighter for the grief we face
for every moment of despair
is an equal spark of joy

keep the faith
this too shall pass
and the seed that sleeps through winter's cold
will come back with glory and green come the spring
