Faith is a mixture,
of sunshine and rain
of highs and lows
happiness and pain.
Faith is a blending,
of gladness and grief
of ups and downs
struggles and relief.
Faith is a fusion,
of blessings and hardships
of twists and turns
droughts and harvests.
Faith is a combination,
of hope and despair
of rises and falls
injury and repair.
Faith is a merging,
of mercy, grace and love
faith believes in all things
we can rise above!
