I absolutely love this done in letter form. It would be a lovely way to put into memoirs. You address faith so clearly as to when it wavered and took a back seat to where is was there waiting for your return. A true friend it is. Beautiful flow and sentiments in this poem, Pupa. Joyce

I am pleased that your poem (letter) shows that faith lives inside of people, even those that don't dwell inside the cement buildings called "the house of the lord" It is wonderful to attend services there, but we shouldn't believe that only those who do have faith.

I am glad that faith helped you to fight your battles and that you found greater riches on the other side.

Beautiful picture and beautiful, heartfelt poem.

Pupa, I like your faith poem in letter form and in solid rhyming couplets - and yes, attending church is all many think one has to do - and some even continue thinking that past the time they are school girls. contentment, gratitude, patience - all good companions to faith. This is touching and thoughtful, dear friend. Brooke

I enjoyed this poem and actually faith is important and I love what you say about it in this well written chapter. In trying to deal with other people, there are a few stanzas that had important notes and reminders. I am doing an ongoing work where other people would greatly expand my material, but my first commitment is towards myself and continue on, even if the people that I write about don't value the work enough to respond.

This is an amazing poem! You really captured the true essence of faith. Your descriptive use of language as well as the sincerity of your thoughts makes this one of the most remarkable poems I have ever read.

I like it and how you show that faith is an innermost thing and not something you gain from going to church every Sunday. This line "when I did, you hurried that combat to its start" seems very awkward to me. Maybe to instead of that? I dunno. Good luck in the contest

Great and very well written poem about your faith. Loved reading every line of it and thought that it was a good evolution of how you grew in your spiritual. If I sound like a moron and if this is totally wrong please tell me. Anyway the poem was amazing.
