Analysis of Kept Faith

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



If it's kept faith,
That you claim it to have.
Keep this everyday to believe.
It is with kept faith,
That keeps you up from being down.
Your faith,
Will bring your face smiling from a frown.

And if you say you pray everyday,
Stay.
That way to believe.
It is with kept faith.
Not to fake it.
It is with your faith.
You can take whatever's in your way.
It's with faith,
And not to fake it.
No matter what it is,
You can make it disappear.
With faith.
And not to fake it.
Keep it real to feel felt.
Not to fake it!
