three special sisters

Faith hope and charity
are sisters three
meet anyone of them
heaven you see

faith is a sister
born with believing
accepts the impossible
with child like mind

faith has confidence
in our better efforts
you can do it
she softly says

hope is the other sister
full of expectation
wishes and dreams
within a real world

does not give up
refuses to be daunted
one knows that virtues
like these are heaven sent

charity she is born to love
heart full of kindness
a gentle dove
love so divine

she will endure
with patience ever strong
she is the best three
who runneth ever long

touch anyone of them
of these sisters three
and you will find
that heaven touches thee..
