Substance Of Things Hoped For*

You cannot see it up ahead
But hope it must be there
Faith creates a certainty
Although facts are bare

You cannot lay it in a hand
But hope it must be there
Faith creates a radicand
Although facts are bare

You cannot nail it to a wall
But hope it must be there
Faith creates a pious call
Although facts are bare

You cannot fix it by a tang
But hope it must be there
Faith creates a tiny pang
Although facts are bare

You cannot hear it in a din
But hope it must be there
Faith creates a silent win
Although facts are bare

You cannot eat it on a dish
But hope it must be there
Faith creates a final wish
Although facts are bare
