I is for Indriso and In Faith

Vanity plates in Maine that start with I...and a poem form beginning with I...and they both go together...

In Faith

By faith I know the roaring sun will reappear to face us,

the sleepy moon will return changed in the night,
 
and the pouring rains will fill soil with sustenance.


By faith I know the green grass blades will creep in cracks to fill gaps
and my heart will stand for good despite the dark.
I plant lilac and rose to fill breezes while we're here.


In faith and by faith I am walking;

This I know, it’s the sweetest way to go.

This morning, after reading it last night and not being content with it, I rewrote.

In Faith 

By faith I know the roaring sun will reappear face bright,

the sleepy moon will return changed each night,
 
and the pouring rain will fill soil with its might.


By faith I know the grass will creep in cracks, greening spaces,
my sore heart will stand for good and look for soothing graces,
and lilac and rose will I plant to fill breezes with their traces.


In faith and by faith I am walking, this I know.

Faith is by far, the sweetest way to go.

Here's a nice one.  I tried writing one for this, but it just didn't take...
Feel free to try it!
