Shedding the Old Coat
My Journey of being Surprised by Joy16 total reviews
Comment from Patty Mazzurco
This poem beautifully captures the journey of faith and its transformative power. I love the imagery of faith hanging like an old coat, it's a relatable metaphor that sets the tone perfectly. Your contrast between a security blanket and true faith adds depth, making it clear that faith is about restoration and connection.
The lines about faith as a horizon and a guiding light are particularly powerful, evoking hope and direction. I appreciate how you express faith as something that becomes part of us, emphasizing its importance in our lives. Overall, this is a heartfelt reflection that resonates deeply. Great job!

Your poem describes the importance of faith and how it feels really well. I particularly liked the line, "True faith carries us on its wings." I thought that was really powerful. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest.

"Faith of a mustard see," is a hard choice to make, believing in what you can't see or touch. But once you finally accept and agree, it changes everything. Thanks for sharing

Comment from Begin Again
Many forget about the Lord and our faith except in our times of need, when we beg him to hear our prayers and grant us peace--like finding the old coat only when it's bitter cold. We must stand in His light daily and share our faith, for He will always be at our side.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from bob cullen
This is the story of true faith. Of believing there is something beyond this life. This belief holds me together. It justifies my existence and more importantly it promises me a tomorrow, far beyond this human experience. I pray every night, I'm not wrong.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
The poem does a good job of reminding us how to be in touch with our faith. It is the factor in the life of a believer we cannot abandon. That is what connects us to the Lord. Our faith is what saves us. Well done and good luck.
