Comment from Tom Horonzy
Good luck for what it is worth. God has answered all our prayers but men and women no longer seek the answer in the Good Book. I cannot think of any problem unaddressed in those gold pages. As you wrote there are so many how does He hear. For what it is worth, that's my two cents. Of course, misguided thoughts will find alibi's and state emphatically that was then and the world has changed. Comparing Sodom and Gomorrah to life today erase that dictate.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
A very beautiful poem about God. Faith comes from God so if you believe in Him, He will understand. We have to have faith in our family too besides trusting them.

Comment from Sarah Tummey
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My favourite line is: "I wish just once I'd see God" because it reminded me of Thomas in the Bible, who said unless he saw the nail marks in Jesus' hands, he wouldn't believe in Him. Jesus appeared and showed Thomas the marks from the nails. Then He said: "You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing Me".

Comment from Pantygynt
This poem demonstrates faith well.
In rhyming poetry it is as well not to use the same rhyme more than once in any one poem unless it is a very long one. You have the 'oo' sound a couple of times and the me/see rhyme is also repeated.
'but there's questions I have to.' >> I think that final 'to' should be 'too' meaning also or as well.

A very interesting and engaging poetic reflection here on the question of Faith and how we experience it in our daily, earthly lives - believing in a God most of us never see

Comment from Maria Millsaps
This was a very nice heartfelt poem, that many can relate to. Family indeed is very important and that's why God made them. Just think he could had just made us of clay and breathed into us, and bingo, a human race. But he knew family was important and that's why the first family failed miserly. They did not have a family. Thanks for sharing
