We fear what we can’t see,
but none of us can see
what’s on the other side.

We’re not even convinced
that there is another side,
which frightens us all the more.

This can’t be it, can it?
We want so much more—
more time, more space,

more freedom, more money,
more love—always more love.
Even though we’ve had lots,

more than our fair share,
some might say. Doesn’t matter.
Everything we want is right here,

and that other side… if it exists…
well, that’s where faith come in.
But I don’t believe, you say.

And we say,
You don’t have to.
All you have to do is love

the best you can.
The best kind of faith,
the truest prayer.

Hold tight to love in your
sweaty little hand, in your
trusting, steady heart.

And, we promise,
all will be well.
