There is a lot of solid proof here of wanting to learn, and this is the beginning of wisdom. This you found in the statement of your wife, great it s faith not fear. What will come will come whether you fear or not or whether your faith is weak or not. But the better between the two is faith, it brings tranquility and peace of mind....and heart.

This is another great faith poem. I like the way this one flows and the structural foundations are very sturdy. This is a very good poem. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Earl, I enjoyed reading this short poem on faith. It is a good entry for the competition because it relates to you and your life story and path to faith. A simple, straight forward and relatable piece. I think your wife is an admirer of your work... good on her. I'd give her a ten :-)
Good job and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hey, there are no better critics than those in our own families, Earl.
My daughter, Chelsea, is not only my biggest fan she is also my staunchest critic.
If she feels I've butchered a poem's meter or the plot line story she'll really let me have it!
If we put our faith in mankind and the things of this world we are going to be in for a serious let down.
If we put our faith in Christ, however, we simply can't go wrong.
Best of luck to you in the Faith Poetry Contest.

Comment from LIJ Red
The glimpse into their own open grave brings some men to faith, and drives others from it. One thing seems sure, faith must often stand on its own. Interesting string of rhyming couplets, very much to prompt.

Great poem. I like the flow and rhythm of it. It made me think of my mortality. We may see Christ sooner than we thought. My favorite is "faith not fear" .

Comment from Debbie Pope
Like your wife, I really like this poem. I like your line that it's faith not fear. Good one to pick for your title. And I like the admonition to store doubts. Personally, I would bury them. Why keep them around?
I can't believe that this is your first attempt at poetry. Great job.

Blessings to your wife for helping to move you in a better direction. Solid rhyme, conviction is sound and delightful, image works well with the Faith theme required in the prompt. Thanks for granting the reader a short glimpse into your world. Which, from what I've seen, has taken a turn for the better. Well done and good luck in the contest, Earl
