Ode to Faith (Adapted from "Ode to Thanks" by Pablo Neruda)

Thanks to the word that says faith! 
That leads us forward like the future! 
The world is a threatening place until 
Faith makes the rounds 
from one pair of lips to another, 
strong as a belief 
And bright as a star, 
Life becomes a pathway: 
Travelers fan out into the wilds, 
and in the jungle of strangers, 
faith is there 
Thank you, faith, 
for believing as I believe in you, 
for rising up and settling down. 
We know, faith, 
that you don’t fill every space 
you’re only a word 
but where your presence
appears a burst of joy here, 
and there’s a hand reaching out to help you.

--Sarahi F.C., 6th-8th Grade
