FAITH is the Key
By Susan Vaughan Shumake
*****
There was a time when my dreams were made of rainbows.
Beautiful, translucent colors in the air.
Yet as the years have passed,
the colors all have faded.
Rain has washed away the beauty there.
*****
And yet behind the clouds, the sun is shining.
Clear and brilliant blue, the sky resides for all to see.
To look beyond the storm
to find your purpose for my life,
takes trusting in your love.
Faith is the key.
*****
Faith is the key
Faith is the key
I know that there is more than I can see.
I know there can be laughter even after broken dreams.
You’re teaching me.
Faith is the key.
*****
When rain is what I get instead of rainbows.
And you have cleared a path for me that I did not forsee.
Although I cannot understand
why this pain is in your plan.
I cling to what I know.
Faith is the key.
*****
And when I make it through this storm, in the break of day.
All the questions of my pain will finally fade away.
*****
FAITH is the key.
FAITH is the key.
I know that there is more than I can see.
I know there can be laughter even after broken dreams.
You’re teaching me.
FAITH is the key.
