The author's words are meaningful, true, interesting, thought provoking,
descriptive and creative. I pondered on the words of this poem especially
the last line. As it really is hard sometimes, when I receive God's answer!
The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome. Love the
words above the title! Great Poem!

    I so appreciate this encouraging review, harmony13. Thank you! Did you ever hear the joke that's similar to this? The child says to his parent, "I prayed to G-d, but He didn't answer me." "Yes, He did," the parent replied. "He said 'no.'"

    THAT's when it gets hard, for sure!!

LOL. I really enjoyed the good sense of humour here. Yes sometimes we don't always get the answer we're looking for.

Excellent entry into this contest, and best of luck with the voters. :))

What a great picture you chose to accompany your short poem. I can almost hear the little boy speaking to the Lord and I love his candor. This entry should really appeal to voters. Rod

An excellent little poem that communicates to God. Faith comes through clearly and the reader feels the intensity of what you are saying. Excellent use of words here.

What a great statement made in this short-form poem. Everything you needed to get across to the reader was done so in just a few words. Nice job and good luck with the contest.

That part is hard, even with God there is that cringe factor when we doubt Him with healing for instance, does that extend to salvation, beautifully written my friend, great post, good luck, blessings Roy

I loved your 5-7-5 poem on faith. You are absolutely right about the last part being hard, but we still must try. Thank you for sharing this here, and best wishes to you.
