Traveling from Anne's first home in Germany, to her place of death in Bergen-Belsen, I wrote this poem. . .


That's What Faith Can Do


Give you hope to go on
Move you to step forward,
when others laugh.


Help you get out of bed in the morning
(or in the afternoon).


That's what faith can do. . .


Be fanatically radical,
blindly devoted,
help you stay married, 
be a friend, 
and believe the unbelievable.


That's what faith can do. . .


Press through pain, 
love others who are unloveable,
see beauty in what's not beautiful.


That's what faith has done.
