Living Faith
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
One affirms faith in one clean sweep,
Akin to a great oak rooted deep.
Conquer a pinnacle rugged, steep,
Steady and slow, no quantum leap.
There’s seldom time to stop and weep.
Dust the furniture. The floors sweep.
Full moon over mountain may creep,
As a gentle hand lulls one to sleep.
One must pray. Promises one must keep.
What one sows one shall surely reap.
