This is one of my favorite of your poems. It just touches me. What a great way to define faith through the years. I see myself in your words for sure. I've always felt the presence of angels, and that relationship has changed over the years. We've come to a sadder state now for sure. It's still very comforting to know that they are still there.

    Hey again, MQ - thank you, THANK YOU for such a wonderful review and those bright, shiny stars! ;) I'm not one for the 'preaching', but I do think faith is a deeply personal thing that is part of us as we 'travel' life's highways... :) :) Take care, my friend and enjoy the rest of week catching your tail down there! ;) Yvette

Ah dear Yvette,
Likely I'll not ever find a high enough ladder to catch up to all your
prolific posts with your boundless energy , curiosity, versatility and
sheer love of challenges and the fun and sport of amazing us all
the more ...LOL....but shall keep trying dear!
This 'Such Is Faith Poem....is such a sense stirring and heart tilting
reflective memoir and self rewind kind of revelry that encompasses
and entire lifetime of meetings, greetings, fascinations and reckonings
on faith and angels, from childhood to latter gentler, humbling and
no less grateful years. Most compellingly sharing in each phase and
grade, impact, pain, sorrow, confession, resignation and ultimate
moral, wisdom and inspiration retained. Spectacular sequencing
of events, moods, moments and momentums! A thoroughly exulting
and exceptional command of conscience and conscientious objectivity
throughout. A keeper for surel; I was quite often taken to silently
fleeting flashbacks of similar reconings and reconcilemants too as
I read through it, several times! Thanks for sharing, and best of
luck in contest, which you may have already won!
Love, blessings always,!!! Ronni

    Know I said it already, but it's good to see your face... been missing you: not that I've had a lot of time myself...seems like as soon as I think I've caught my tail, it turns out it was only a fuzzy branch (or one of those funny carnival snakes that you win when you knock the whole stack of fake bottles over - lol!!). That's why this was so 'short-metered' ... I was like 'what?! the deadline's tonight?! Crap!'.... Yeah, I think you know how that goes sometimes! ;) :) UGH!! But thank you so much for such an awesome rating... you see? The Lord looks out for busy, crazy people - proof is right there in those stars!!! ;) :) wink, wink! ;) Take care of you over there, Lady Ronni, and keep on smiling!! ;) :) Yvette

Hello dear Yvette!
I love the sentiments expressed in your exceptionally well-crafted poem.
I don't often speak of my religious beliefs - organized or otherwise - but I will share that I have always believed in angels...Love the progression of thought and need in your offering as well...
Thank you for sharing!

I like the chain link type of format here, the rhythms and repetitions linking stanza to stanza, and some nice echoing rhyme effects in there too. You created a great sense of faith over a life, evolving with experience and maturity, from selfishness to selflessness, but still always steadfast, unchangeable. And always a source of hope for us on this tortured rock of a planet. estory

    You are so right on that one, E! ;) Thanx so much for stopping by on this one -- I'm definitely not one for the 'preaching', but I do think faith is a deeply personal thing that is an intrinsic part of us as we 'travel' life's highways... :) :) Take care out there and have a great weekend! ;) Yvette

Hello and smiles to you Y. M. Roger
for your poem of faith. With each line of your poem, the font and the message. And our lines where you wrote about how angels are watching from above.

Loved the flow of this quite spiritual piece. I have to admit I got a few goosebumps as I read you really drew me in with the imagery and I could feel the emotions pouring out with your words. I enjoyed the read very much! Great writing thanks for sharing.

In my opinion, a stunning write, that takes us through one's life in smoothly rhyming detail, offering us all the opportunity for warm and content conclusion in the twilight of our years - in perfect compliance with the prompt, which is standard of this gifted writer. Best wishes in the contest with this gem...

    You are very welcome, Yvette, I loved my read, and did not view it as preaching at all, but a wonderful narrative of realized faith throughout one's life, interestingly, in concert with my own. Thank you so much for sharing this uplifting read...Eve

This is a write that is so full of faith ,the same that was when you were a child and now old .this is why you think of prayer first and your angel has followed you. God bless .I love this write so full of real, genuine faith.
