With Or Without

With or Without Without the existence of flame could fire give way to the spark is there good in the absence of evil can there be light without having dark if you never had any friends would you know who your enemies are without the reality of perception would you know what was near and not far would we think that the world was still flat if science had never been found could we still wish upon a star if all life lived deep underground can we have love without hate will they both just tear us apart could life be embraced and released without faith and God in your heart 5/3/2021

Congratulations on your win Mark! Such perceptive questions to ponder in Psalmic parallelism. Each of your coupled lines spawns questions to ponder over time. It is truly sad to see so many reject our loving God. Wonderful ending lines. Well done my friend. Blessings! :) Soup mail

Having faith gives us the hope we need to believe in something greater than we could ever be. Without it, we're mere mortals for the span of but a few years on earth. There is so much that God promises us, if only we believe in Him. This is testament to His love for us, Mark. Well written.
