LEAP OF FAITH

By Steven Canara

Oh why are you so afraid?

Life is just a leap of faith.

Of closed doors and hidden keys

All in all, a box full of memories

An ensemble of bittersweet instances

Some horrid screeches and some happy symphonies.

Oh why are you so afraid?

Life is just a leap of faith.

In this journey of decades, we aren't always right;

But moments of sanity helps us ignite!

Carrying all the loads of expectations,

We're actually driven by hope's inspiration.

Oh why are you so afraid?

Life is just a leap of faith.

Yes we're fragile, vulnerable and invariably dependent.

Yet we strive to live and overcome all contingents.

But, can we be hopeful when hope disappears?

In the eye of the storm, can we still steer?

Oh why are you so afraid?

Life is just a leap of faith.

When anxieties completely take over your mindspace,

Don't worry too much, rather, just embrace;

Whatever may happen do not let go of your base;

Cause God is always there for you with his bountiful grace.
