Comment from Thomas Bowling
Inspiring poem. The faith of a child, we all need more of it. Keep up the good work I will post this on my bathroom mirror as a reminder to start each day with the faith of a child.

Thank you very much, Thomas. I am truly honored to have inspired you so as I keep many verses like this around my desk to always keep me grounded in the things which really count in life. I am truly grateful for your time and lovely words of encouragement.
Comment from damommy
Very beautifully written.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be on site on the anniversary? Having celebrated the day every year of my school life, I'm always amazed at the many people who know nothing about it.
If we all had the faith of a child, this world would be a better place.
Thank you for sharing this. 8-)

Comment from RoostyNester
A very moving free verse faith poem of redemption through the faith of the children. If we could only come to God as these children did. Children have faith and believe. Even when we see something, we still doubt. Your poem was very well done in verse, word and rhyme. I liked it.

Comment from Mark Valentine
Thanks so much for posting this one. As a skeptic by nature, I tend to shy away from stories of miracles, but as a life-long Catholic, the apparitions of Our lady at Fatima, Lourdes, Medjugorje, and other places are part of the tradition I inherited and cherish. I will join you in prayer and I thank you for the gift of this beautiful poem.

Comment from royowen
Are you actually going Monica? And if you are, you need to spread the word among the onsite believers, and we will join with you in prayer. Well done, with this beautifully measured and chiseled work that brings grace to my senses, I remember the film and the prophecy. It amazes me that God appears uniquely to our own understanding so we know it's Him. Excellent elegant language, an even, rhythmic meter, and couplet rhyming, well done,, blessings, Roy

Thank you so much, Roy. I have a friend that is going and will be offering prayer on behalf of a group of us. It is the same friend that goes to Lourdes every year to help escort the sick to the grotto and offers prayers for me, as well as all of the other cancer patients in my prayer group. I am thrilled you thought this a worthy entry and always grateful for your lovely words of encouragement and support.

Hello Mystic Angel;
-what a beautiful poem that is very inspirational and enlightening of the glorified miracle of Fatima. The author's notes are also very helpful in making me learn more about the subject. And I will be waiting on the hundredth day On May 13, 2017.
-Good rhyming and rhythm and grading jam and that held your idea, concept and theme all the way through each line in verse.
-An excellent picture that definitely is appropriate And very effective in agreeing and being relative to your poem's theme.
-Good luck in the contest and made a good Lord be with you and take care and have a good one.
