Have Faith

Written after moving our family from the UK to Australia and we were in the 3rd house in 6 months and having to face moving again. Lots of things were unsettling and difficult, but I knew we would get through it.

Have Faith

When we started out nearly 9 years ago
Cuddles and kisses would readily flow
Love, passion and warmth were in our household
Our energy and happiness seemed uncontrolled

But every year great challenges we set
Sometimes unnecessarily but we seem to forget
The increase stress it brings on us all
The last thing we need is to stumble and fall

So keep the life simple, the challenges real
Our bodies can rest and take time to heal
Our lives a routine where we live for today
Not striving for something that is so far away.

I love you so much so you don’t need to worry
Our new life here will pass in a hurry
If we don’t stop and take a look at what we’ve achieved
It’s so much other people wouldn’t have believed

We have 15 months left before we review
And only then will we know what to do
If our future lies here or back in the cold
Together we’ll do it, your hand I will hold

We will make our lives calmer and share precious time
Facing the future together tackling those mountains we climb
Revive our strengths, passion, laughter and tears
Hand in hand, heart in heart, for the next 40 years
