What Is Faith



It is in knowing that
      the sun will rise~
even on a cloudy day

It is in accepting that
      the question “WHY”
may not be answered

It is in embracing
      each day as a GIFT~
and spreading the LOVE freely



Knowing that GOD loves you unconditionally

Accepting that He has a PLAN

Embracing every moment of His BEAUTY



GOD’S   LOVE  “IS”  FOREVER

    I absolutely love your poem 'What Is Faith'. It's so beautiful, touching and meaningful! I especially admire your poetic structure and your choice of words which truly illuminate the concept of faith. The metaphor of the sun rising even on a cloudy day, and the acceptance of unanswered questions, are particularly compelling visuals that shed light on the faith's nature. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking piece.

    One suggestion I'd propose is to consider providing even more specific imagery in your verses. For example, instead of saying 'each day is a gift,' you might describe the specific moments that make each day feel like a gift. Such vivid details could even further enhance the emotional impact of your poem. Also, as much as the capitalization of words like 'WHY', 'GIFT', 'LOVE', 'GOD' and 'BEAUTY' bring emphasis, it can also come off a bit overpowering to some readers. Try playing around with different ways of emphasizing these key concepts.

    That said, your poem 'What Is Faith' is a true masterpiece, highlighting the essence and depth of spirituality. Keep up the great work!
