Poem: Keeping Faith

I am a writer. My passion is poetry. I feel words connect people together and help us to understand the feelings we share.

Poem Summary

"Keeping Faith" is a poem describing how rain doesn't spoil her day.

Instead it makes her feel more alive with each drop.

She stands boldly, lingering to see the hands of God paint a rainbow in the sky taking the torrent storms away.

BJ Thomas - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (lyrics)

"Keeping Faith"

The rain does not

dampen her mood,

for each droplet touching her head

makes her feels more alive.

Like lightening splitting a tree,

she stands boldly,

waiting to inhale

each second.

Lingering with anticipation,

to watch the hands of God

paint a band of color across the sky,

keeping the torrent storms at bay.

The way I see it,

if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

— Dolly Parton
