My name is Bill MacFeat and I'm from the Philadelphia suburbs, now living up north. I've always seemed to have a knack for writing poetry but was never interested enough to put my life and thoughts into poetry. I've had a long struggle to overcome in 15 or so years and finaly was helped to see there was a whole lot more I could be doing with my life. So I've been writing for the past 3 or 4 years about things that I've gone through , and thoughts I need to continue to get through them...........long story. FAITH Faith is a word which cannot co-exist with fear It comes from believing in a God, which we can't see or hear However, we can see all his works, in so many ways Who else created the sun.......which lightens up our days It's hard for me to believe, one could live without knowing Where after this life, their soul will be going Life is so short, but eternity's forever So why not put every effort in getting there together I think more about it when someone passes away If they're close to your heart, you just need to pray That they accepted the Lord, and his word they do trust And are now enjoying eternity and waiting on us. We all need the faith that God will come through When we're caught up in life's problems and don't know what to do He'll guide us through this life every step of the way And he'll be ready to celebrate on your dying day For then you'll enter his kingdom and faith will have brought you there And you'll be rewarded for your helping others and showing them you care So make a vow to the Lord right now, that you'll help someone in need Then they too, may become a believer, but you must first plant that seed Bill M.
