Resting On The Church Steps

I watch the people passing by me on the church steps
Gathering every emotions to leave their eyes
Belief is twisted by their certainty
Yet I still believe uncertainly

Is the fear of the afterlife?
Could it be the judging in society?
Or is the presence I feel around me
Something greater beyond belief?

I still lie awake at night to pray
Or lack the sleep when I do not
Before I did not believe at all
Now I feel gratitude in the effort

Becoming a better person inside
Feeling warmth in broken places
The list continues on forever
Which is why I am now a thankful believer
