Very well done Maria. It was easy to read and had a comfortable reading flow. It opens one to thought and self examination. It carried a great message and words of wisdom and truth. Thanks.

I must admit, there are truly few men (or woman) I can truly trust, my wife is one, and a few select, but then, I trust their faith, love and compassion rather than an holistic trust. I do, however have complete trust or faith in God, (more by choice on evidence than my unreliable emotion) well done good free verse entry in this contest, blessings Maria, Roy

    Funny. I think it's the other way around with me. I tend to trust everybody and then sometimes I'm disappointed.
    Thanks for reading and sharing your views.

    I trust no one really, we're all human, imperfect, but have a great regard for everyone. Perfection is my hallmark of trust. Well done, Maria,

Maria, this is a fine faith poem that extols the beauty of God's creation:

Those snow flakes,
Caught on the trees
I want to touch
With longing hands.

I love the intimacy of this poem in which the narrator sees God as a dear friend:

The burning sun,
The cotton clouds,
Make me dream
Of You, sweet friend.

Your poem is vivid, lofty, and flows well to its stunning conclusion:

The best of worlds
You gave me.
My dear friend,
I have faith in Thee.

Ah! Thank you for sharing your fine faith poem. I wish you contest success.

Well done. A I've often said, "How can a person who observes the beauty of nature be an unbeliever? Happy New Year. God Bless.

Because of the environment that surrounds us and the benefit, that is acquired from it, which everyone enjoys, you believe. They are things that no man/woman can reproduce.

Gosh, I wish I had six stars for this poetic gem. I think this is the best poem from your pen. It is packed with beautiful imagery and scenery. The personification is just stunning.

Oftentimes, I wonder how one does not believe in God after beholding the scenery so elegantly and eloquently described in your poem.

Beautiful, simply beautiful!

Good luck in the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a wonderful expression of faith. I liked the seque between each verse with your beginning words. Each verse expressed a beautiful aspect of nature and the joy it brings and your ending gives credit to the one who allows us to have it.

A very well-written faith poem. There are many things around us every day that make us realize God is always nearby and we can have trust and faith in Him.
