Faith.

So easily misplaced,
Or lost without a trace,
Conveniently erased,
Denied to keep a face.

Sometimes undercover,
Or shouted from on high,
Essential with your lover,
A cause for which to die.

A simple test of trust,
Belief, the strongest kind,
The enemy of lust,
A shield to stand behind,

A cause of inspiration,
The start of many wars,
Makes or breaks a Nation,
In name it levels scores.

Surely nothing is that strong?
Just what has so much power?,
It's 'Faith' for reasons right or wrong,
That guides each waking hour.

Stronger than a regiment.
Has ear of Kings and Queens,
Faith is born to tramp and gent, 
The center of our dreams.
