A wonderful honoring of the three. And, a reminder of what an awful place this world continues to be. By coincidence, wife and I completed today visits to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. While marvels to technology, I was disappointed. My old time religion just can't accept that there were dinosaurs on the Ark or that the Ice Age was caused by the Flood. Loving the Lord, but not sure about the presentation. Great poem.

    WOW! Thank you very much for the generous and uplifting feedback. Dinosaurs on the Ark? No there's a new one LOL. I wrote it prior to the 100 year anniversary and here we are celebrating 102 years today and things in the world have gotten no better. I am truly grateful for your time and gracious support.

Congratulations on winning the contest with this descriptive poem. I was not familiar with "The 13th Day"--so, your notes were very helpful. I admired your rhymed couplets in these quatrains as well. Cheers, especially on the eve of the miracle- Joan

So well written. Love the thoughts within your poem. I didn't see the movie 'The 13th Day'. It sounds like a very interesting movie. Like the information which you stated also.

This poem was very touching as the truth it told, as well as the coming fate of the world. is predicted. Thirteen has been somewhat of a lucky
number for me as long as I can remember.
When people tell me it's unlucky I tell them it's the opposite for me.
My oldest son was born on Friday May 13. I have won prizes with the number 13. I agree we all need to pray for man , but more so for the innocent children. When the senior citizens of today pass, I see a world
full of people who have never learned they had a savior. He was thrown out of the schools and forbidden to be spoken of. I pray that the children will be strong and keep God in their lives and the lives of their children.
Thank you for your poem

A lovely poem and yes, I will join you in prayer for peace! I didn't know much about this but I think a Catholic priest from France told me about this event. Did the Virgin appear to them?
Congrats on the win!!

    Thank you for your time and kind feedback. Both are greatly valued and appreciated. The angel of peace appeared to the children thee times in 1916 to prepare them for the Holy Mother's visitation. She appeared to them from May 1917 thru October 1917 each time on the 13th of the month. She provided them with several secret prophecies all of which have come to pass.

What an incredible poem! No surprises as to why you won that contest, it's one of the best faith poems I've read. I would really like to watch the film, now, and learn more about this miraculous event. Well done, my friend, your author's notes were also well written. If only the whole world could be brought together by prayer, what a wonderful place this would be. :)) Sandra xx

This was both amazing and very well done. Our Lady of Fatima's appearance to the three children was indeed a miracle and one that will never be forgotten. Prayers tomorrow, on 10/13/19 for peace.

This deserves six stars that I do not have. The video is so stunning the crowd is unbelievable. The poem is really touching. I believe there was a promise made to the faithful that Pope John held for years and when turned out to be the end of the Russian Cold War and the return to the Church for the ones that hung onto their religion throughout those bad years.
Hopefully if we all give it our best tomorrow, we can find a lasting peace throughout the world.

    JP2 knew that the USSR would fall once Our Lady's request for its consecration wo her Immaculate Heart was accomplished which he finally did in 1984 (I think). All of her prophecies given to the Fatima children came to pass.

    I did pray!
