One of my Dad’s favourite sayings was “Keep the Faith” and my Grandma always loved “Che sarà sarà”. As I mused on an opportunity for growth in my life, both phrases came to mind and quickly became a poem.

Faith is

Faith is trusting what will be

It’s che sarà sarà

We cannot plan life perfectly

Right now’s the place you are

Faith is going with the flow

And knowing I’ll be held

The less we force the more it grows

Faith’s a magic well

Faith is letting words arise

Upon my morning page

It’s being open to surprise

Yes you, you wise old sage

Faith is setting yourself free

from future thoughts too far

Faith is trusting what will be

It’s che sarà sarà
