Hello, Breezy! :)
Sweetheartedness is as beautiful a thing as our species has produced, and sweetheartedness is the feeling I get from this writing. I find the topic absurd, because I dont view faith as a virtue, and I enjoy absurdity, but this combination of faith and sweetheartedness makes me sad. Thanks for sharing.

The way you portrayed faith in this form is very lovely as many need to understand that he's always there, so thank you for writing.

This piece tugged at my soul. Questions we must ask ourselves, regardless of faith. There is something rather than nothing and that something should be addressed. I am always impressed when poets extend words into an untraditional realm. What is poetry if not the exploration of thought, a taste of the flavor of existence, you have provided this to the reader here.
