Debi, your poem is beautifully penned, and I can see why it was the contest winner. I especially liked:


Having faith will keep you from the evil one's despair

(Words of truth and a good guideline to live by.)

Silky rhyming. Well-chosen photo. A poem of faith and love. God is love. Well done. Congratulations on your win. Sorry that I missed this one. Xo. M

    Oh Hon, I can barely keep track of myself right now, I surely don't expect you to. However I do feel bad that you only got your 2 cents worth and I got your six stars. Lol! Thanks so much my very dear and caring friend for those stars and the review and such kind comments. I appreciate it more than you could ever know. Love ya my sweet SOTU!
    Another P.S. ~ thanks for brightening my day with your sweetness, since all I can see if white, I truly need a little color in my life. We are getting like 4-5 inches every single day and poor Glen has a hard time keeping up.
    It is snow sickening!
    Like a very wise and sophisticated woman and sis of mine describes it so eloquently; Yuck!!! hehe!(big smile and hugs)

Debi, this poem is spot on. I enjoyed the truth of it. The seeds that were planted in me early have helped me so much in life. This is written well. I see no errors.

Excellent poem about faith. It's the fourth in a road I read today.

The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Your poem is not only a comment on the power of faith, but also on the current secular state and how it has turned away from the faith. It's really a lament for the fact that we can no longer really share our faith publicly in our society of today. It makes people who follow Christ more isolated, and that is a test of faith. I would argue that it was not the constitution, but this country's faith in God that made it great. estory

Please allow me to share with you a line from one of the poems I posted here on the site, it is entitled Patriotism is not religion.
"Patriotism is not religion - God over country is a good decision." You should allow that to be your guide.

    Sounds to me dear Nomi that we think a lot alike. Imagine that! ; )
    Thank sweet bro for your kind comments and sharing a bit of your poem with me. Btw, I read your last one and still have to review it. It was great, and no you were not being preachy. I think I do but I will never back down from my strong faith.

This is a beautiful poem of faith. Jesus said that if we had faith as the grain of a mustard seed we could move mountains. As we trust Him, mountains of difficulty and despair disappear and His peace fills our hearts.

The Lord's love is divine and changes all of human history! Yes, it was good when we did our morning pledges and more students prayed more openly. But God is raising up the next generation in a revival.
Thanks for sharing your lovely testimony! Best wishes in the contest!
