Faith, Hope and Love

Faith is the name of the first girl I blame
For kissing me soft on my face
We were seven years old and her eyes were gold
As my warm heart thumped in my ears

And I held hands with her 
Even skipped kickball for her
Then she dropped me on the last day of the year

	But I think that I found love
	I hope this is love
	I have some faith this is love
	And perched on her palm is a dove

Hope she came next to crack the darkness
Of the lonely, flowing stained-glass years
I stared into space and the stars formed her face
And with the silence of light she healed my fears

But like light she was gone   
Lost to someone else’s song
I felt lost and found and lost again

	But I think that I found love
	Yes, I hope this is love
	I have some faith this is love
	And perched on her palm is a dove

Love struck so quick that I did not notice it
And I did my very best to resist
It was so hard to believe how much love loved me
Now she keeps me tight inside of her fist

And as long as love has faith
I’ll have faith, hope, and love
 	
	And perched on my soul is a dove
