Amen! I found the subject matter inspirational but also, the writing is lovely. Often I find rhyming poetry can have the words 'shoe-horned' into the end of the line in order to make it rhyme. But with this, the words sounded natural and flowed well. Great work!

-Nice artwork and presentation, Fonda.
-You wrote a very good poem and your notes are appreciated.
-I like how you begin with the image of the old man, "lost and blind."
-But when you felt you couldn't sink lower, you could
" could make out the outline,
of The Most Caring Hand..."
-You do a good job showing the transformation after that.
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Michael Cassar
I wondered where I begin. This poem reminds me of the little books about saints. God always saved them through Jesus. Salvation was guaranteed through my religion. Often I wondered about the multitude of Hindus, some of my close friends, I prayed for them to see the light. This poem journeys through the epic of religious pain. Are we ever forgotten by God? The concluding line is appealing. Thank you for sharing your pain.

HI Fonda, when we finally find our worth
in life...what God has given us in body and
life...then we wake up to the beauty of all He has
given us...and how we got it...
we then start believing...reading His words...like
we can't get enough...cherishing His written autobiography...The Bible...
I love your poem...and love the story told...so very well
written...and your picture is stunning...love Linda xxoo

"He lifted me ... out of the miry clay" came to mind, as I read your poem reflecting your life and transformation by the Lord Jesus. It is a powerful testimony. I send you best wishes for the Faith Poem contest.

So poignant. A verse always has extra meaning when it reflects a depth of self-participation. You were able to bring despair out of the trenches and breathe new life. Way to go!

Your poem is very good at getting your faithfulness across to the reader. I think you might want to check your punctuation, however. You don't need a comma at the end of every line. Sorry, I was an ELA teacher, so stuff like that is kind of a pet peeve of mine. Beautiful poem, though.
