how small my faith is

a grain of sand maybe
something seemingly inert
not living, hardly a seed
not like a mustard seed at least
a promise within the kernel
the piece of faith planted
ready to grow if we will feed it
water it with the word
how small my faith is
when I do not move
when I fail to believe
to will the mountains to move
bowing at their feet
the stumbling blocks growing
into mountains mighty
to defeat my faith
when faith of a mustard seed
would break them apart
