Passage of Faith

(haiku format)
Faith unknown
Dawning of my Life
Birth - infancy needs sated
For a little while

Faith instilled
Morning of my life
Immaturity dominates
Parents inspire Faith

Faith ignored
Noon of life - crossroad
Earthly lures and fascinations
Youth pleasures prevail

Faith practiced
Afternoon - joy unfurls
Fading Youth growing Wisdom
Prayers chanted in Hope

Faith tested
Evening arrives
Senility, weakness, pain.
Prayers voiced in woe

Faith prevailed
Sunset, flashing by
Heavenly promise sparkles
In darkened light He nears

Faith reviewed
Night of my Life, Death
Oblivion or Ecstasy?
Life weighed Exactingly

Faith rewarded
Close to my Savior
Dawning of my Life endless
Trust in His Word repaid
