DISMAY------FAITH

Dismay is that which darkens,

Makes one downhearted

and wraps our heart in fear.

 

Faith is that which lightens,

Breathes sunlight to the dark

energizes our hopes and dreams.

ahhh, the difference between despair and faith.  One is the fear of the unknown.  the other, that which we need.

I wonder, do you always need to have one, in order to experience the other?
