Faith
I have been through many troubles
In my walk and work on this side of the divide
I have made many attempts
To achieve and to get great success
Like a troubadour I have traversed and travailed
So many places have I tried to get peace
Joy within have I attempted to find in things, people and places
But all have been vanity upon vanity
The storms have been overwhelming
So have the meanderings been in myriads
I have also been to many places
In search of solutions to them
I have returned like the prodigal to my starting point
The one who thought intellect and human understanding
Could give the perfect answer and sort out all troubles
But a deceptive hand to save was dipped in a honey pot of lies
Ready once again to confuse and to convince
But am wiser now, I seek you in discernment in all things
This is the only truth that prevails this I now know
It is in Jesus only, that my joy gets to be full
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
- NELSON ROLIHLAHLA MANDELA (1918-2013)
