Once I found a path to walk
A belief to guide my talk
In the fold of a faithful flock
I found a sense of security and rock

But doubts crept in like creeping vine
Challenging my belief line by line
Unanswered questions doubts and fears
Clouding my path bringing me to tears

The loss of my belief like a death
The shattering of my spiritual breath
Leaving behind friends and family dear
A sense of loss a life left in fear

But in time I began to see
A life beyond belief full and free
A new path emerged a happy life
A spiritual resurrection free from strife

So now I walk unburdened and free
Living a life of joy and possibility
A hopeful future a life well-lived
In the end my doubts and fears are finally rid
