Faith

a shroud of confidence covers it all

even sometimes when I hit the wall

like a gambler, I'll just call

tripping, trying not to fall

on the sideline, wagers bet

I'm not close to stumbling yet

pulling out my safety net

for what you think may be a threat

those that wish to see me fail

almost drowning, as I flail

all my plans may seem derailed

once again I reset sail

go ahead bet against my faith

behind my back not in my face

up my sleeve, once more an ace

once again my saving grace
