Faith
A Spiritual Poem

She strolls through the flower gardens as if she has all the time left in her life. God told her not to worry about the cancer that is stealing the hope from her bones. She pulls the weeds and prunes the bushes, ignoring the pain that constantly punches her in the stomach. She laughs at my requests that she conserve her energy. God, she says, does not wait for anyone. When your time is come, He will allow nothing to prevent you from rejoining Him. I am amazed by her faith and her ability to talk with God. He doesn’t answer my prayers.
