Comment from Jaye Bennett
Your wife is a keeper. Hang onto her. With this poem, you have given the story of many Christians. They start out well, but daily life gets in the way. They change, not for the better. As life goes on, for one reason or another, they realize Christ is Lord. All of us have fallen short. I liked your poem as a whole, but it seemed like you were having to reach for your rhyming. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Comment from tkbrown
You have written a fourteen line one stanza poem with no specific meter and a rhyme scheme of aa bb cc dd ee ff gg. Your creation views the passages through which faith is often taken as one travels through life - strong when young, then weakening as young adulthood is traversed and finally renewed when life's consequences bring us back to the reality that we are not here for all eternity. The artwork that you have chosen fits beautifully with the words. Did you create the artwork, or is it the creation of someone else? Whichever it might be, if you will come back in and add the artwork credit to your 'afterword' then message me that you have done so, I will edit your score to five stars. Thank you for sharing your work and for allowing me to review it. tkbrown

I changed the artwork credit. As far as the rest of your review, I have no clue what you're talking about with meters and rhyme schemes This was the first poem I ever wrote . I'm a story writer who was called upon to enter a Faith based poem, From what you wrote I can't tell if you liked the piece on not. Nevertheless thank you for taking the time to read and review my work.

You're very welcome! Yes, I like your work; 5 stars is the best you can get most of the time. For those who do understand about the meter and such, it is often an important part of the review. I am honoured to have been able to review your work. tkbrown

So much said so simply and to the point. I loved it and thought it flowed smoothly and was direct to the point and yet had great choice in words and phrases. Great job on this one!

Comment from poetwatch
Well written and well said. In other words, Earl, your poem of Faith is very well read. Good write my friend. We all went through the cycle of life not expecting to reach old age, but here were are. Our Lord Jesus has many more things we have to do before we are in call. This is a good entry for the Faith Poetry Contest.

Comment from Irish Rain
Amazing how we go from 'childlike' to doubt, then back to 'childlike.' I love your testimony here, and hope you will always have such simple trusting faith.
A lovely entry.
Blessings...

Comment from nomi338
The uncertain fear that comes with death makes some fearful at what will happen when they die. The Bible says that an was originally created to be eternal and the desire to live forever is very strong in many people. I believe that people who commit suicide have something turned off within them that makes death more desirable than life. I personally cannot imagine death in place pf life. I would like to live forever, but only if I could do so in a healthy body.
