Judester, I love this poem! I love that you said so very much in just a few words. I can feel the peace of the moment as she closes her Bible and turns off the light. You did a great job! Congratulations!

Thanks for the insightful review Maria. I realize that we all need something to believe in, if not God, then ourselves. I appreciate the comfort people find in the bible. Cheers.

So very nice. Well-written, all three stanzas with each one addressing where we can find help to calm the seas of doubt. The very best of luck to you in the contest.

Dear Mystery Poet,

Yep. I really, really like this poem. I don't think I have seen another one like this - about that all-important giver of faith and comfort, our Bible. Great subject and great execution. Good luck!
