I loved this piece. It is a heartfelt conversation with God, telling Him what lies heavy on your heart. This is how prayer should be, a talk with your best friend. Best wishes in the contest. Pen

    Thank you, Pen and it is true that the burden we bear is just ours alone unless we talk or express it.

What a shock you got no good answers. There are no answers for us to hear. They are not to be told to us. Here, now we would not understand. We are babies in this existence. Answers are not for us. When we need to know things we will know. But it won't be here. Class over. You write with feeling and you will get better. But pick and subject that you feel close to. One that is crystal clear to you. See how it will flow out of you like water. Keep writing.

    True that I require a crystal-clear river, flowing through a fertile milage of forest and yes, I will keep writing and learn.

Well written. We all believe that God sends us signs. This verse builds a concise and apt word picture, with effective choice of language and imagery. Top job, I hope you keep on writing.

There are reasons we don't know what Jesus really looked like, reasons beyond the fact there were no cameras then. When we see our fellow man, especially someone suffering or in need, we should visualize Christ and do what He would do. And, we can't keep our faith to ourselves, like some closely-guarded secret; we need to share it with our families and all around us.

    True, faith should be shared, just like in the past. It is the testaments that guide us away from veiled threats that look like candy.

There is a certain mystery between man and God, that's why He sent Jesus, a path to at least understanding the mystery of why God made man in His image, abridge to span the gap. As the natural man needs to transcend that between time and eternity, the spirit of man can comprehend to a large degree, but natural mind of man can't. Good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you, Roy, it is true that Jesus set the path and the way. He is the bridge.

This is a very natural conversation with God revealing a sense of uncertainty, insecurity and generally a need for guidance and support. The conclusion is, I think, that there is no magic wand, just a need to share the faith and, in so doing, carry out the work of God as exemplified by the writer's mother. One suggestion for your fine and well considered verse - perhaps the font could be enlarged slightly for better readability? Good luck! Debbie

Oh mi, or my, is this submission a result of my ABSTRACT MIND, or a precursor that was created previous to my posting. You certainly have had a bevy of thoughts I could consider Abstract. Maybe we will meet beyond the Outer Limits, one day. Tom H
