    Yes, often make a change DOES take a leap of faith. Your poem, your ideas, were beautifully expressed and arranged.

    sometimes, without faith, people don't want to change

    Love this structure and wording, Pat. Hope it was reflective only at this point and that there is no fear of 'irreparable damage' just now. :>) (Except from woodpeckers, of course.)

    agreed.

    The change of seasons need faith,
    love your elegant way of delivering the term of change.

    well done.

    I am so familiar with the process Patricia. It seems so frightening and you've written it perfectly - just stepping off the edge into faith.

    conquer the most difficult decision: change.

    "We decide to step forward in life changing faith". That is so true. Faith, to me, often is a choice. And, one I make often when I feel myself slipping into hopelessness
