Comment from rama devi
I love this! It's universal in application, which is a favorite aspect of Faith themed poetry for me. This is voiced with simplicity and directness. Fine alliteration of M and P and consonance of L and P.
My only suggestion is to add punctuation for these lines (since you use it for the others):
The mind will think(,)
The heart will pray(.)
And alternative that might work well for your poem is to use line breaks for pauses and avoid punctuation altogether. Just a though. Here is an example:
The wheels must be set in motion
But there may be multiple paths
The mind will think
The heart will pray
Patience through time unfolds the truth
Potent closing AHA line:
Patience through time unfolds the truth.
Bravo.
Lovely presentation too.
Warmly, rd

Patience indeed finally reveals the truth about situations and whilst we remain in the dark we can have hope and pray that our path is righteous, I enjoyed your words Alicia, love Dolly x

As I read this poem, I felt that last line should read, "Patience through time unfolds God's plan". Just me, but the very best to you with this poem in the contest.

Hi! Nice edit note. I thought about it, but not everyone believes in God. Some right saviors or angels instead. Thank you :)

you are right, some people may not believe in God. . .so if you are writing for others, I get that. I seem to only penn what is important to me. :)

This is a very strong definition of faith in a non rhyming almost limerick or tankaish format. Interesting artwork.
Good luck in the contest. Keep writing

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Holding Faith, delivered in a freestyle framework, finds the test of one's faith to be taken on many roads over a long time with the aid of prayerful decision-making. Nice.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very wel-written poem about faith that takes its own path and time to set into our minds and heart. We need to be consistent in faith and hope until the truth unfolds with patience.

Comment from Dutchie
Great poem, Alicia. Yes the wheels must be set in motion, but there are many paths...It's also a culture thing I think. If you are born in Pakistan you have another way of believing than in Europe..... All paths led to the same goal and at the end we get the same award because we all believe in the same... Hugs Fia
