I Want to Have Faith- Hope

I want to have faith
That restores sanity
But, what of my waif
For whom I feel pity?

I feel so anxious
And, also guilty
Could it be callous
To change loyalty?

In chaos, where's hope?
I know I must pray
To loosen this rope
Till it then goes away

I'll pray and endure
And surrender my aid
For this is my cure
As to my Lord, my waif is now laid

waif- a homeless child especially one forsaken or orphaned
