Poems about fear

when you tell
a child he is okay,
he believes.
when you tell
a beggar he should pray
and he’ll receive,
he’ll trust
only if he’d seen it work for you.
to trust is not to have faith
to have faith is not to trust.
to have faith and to trust
is to believe
where none of these
mean you’ll receive.
whether in impossible
an unknown is not invisible
an invisible is not unknown
to trust is not to have faith
to have faith is not to trust.
to have faith and to trust is to believe
