The Rope of Faith

Never let go

never stop holding on

keep a tight grip.

Even as the small strings

split

one by one

until you are hanging

only by a piece of thread

Never let go.

Even as your fingers and palms burn

from heated friction, hold on.

Even when Life’s way may weigh heavy,

keep that tight grip.

For it is that piece of thread that holds you still.

Remember your purpose

please, stay strong

You must always

hold on.

This is a poem I wrote about losing faith. We may not always feel as strong in our faith at times and it can feel like the connection is weakening, like how a rope can wear down. But just remember that keeping faith, no matter how weak or strong, will always be better than no faith at all. Once it’s lost, it may be hard to find ever again, so please – always hold on, I promise it’s worth it. You’ll be strong again, keep trying. All your effort and struggle is acknowledged and will only serve to deepen your connection.

Hope this helps anyone struggling right now.
