Comment from Ben Colder

Excellent

Excellent. You bring to life God's love for us. I was thinking how Jesus asked the Father to forgive them for they know not what they do. Well done, poet. Blessings to you.

Thank you, Ben, what a very sweet review! In the original poem, I asked for forgiveness in it. I cut it out to make the poem shorter. Thanks so much for reading it into it.

Comment from Pam (respa)

Excellent

-The artwork is very interesting for your poem.
-I appreciate your author notes. Expanding horizons is a good thing, and you did a nice job with this poem.
-It was evident your heart was in the poem, and that is an important aspect of it. The rhyme adds flow to the ideas.
-A couple of lines I particularly like are:
* "Those unplumbed depths avail for me,"
* "On wings of grace joy's sweet release." This whole stanza was nicely written.
-One small thing in this phrase:
"its depth's ignite," (its depths ignite)

Another fine poem about belief--I'm glad you have that certainty, Rhonda, it must make dealing with all the crap down here easier to take!

Thanks so much for your comments, Mike. Some things you've just got to take on faith, and then when you do, it takes things out of your hands. I have to remind myself pretty often!

davisr, well you certainly have proven to be a poet. This work is wonderful. I am usually not a big fan of spiritual poetry, it is just that sometimes it is way to over the top for my palate, but this is tasteful and softly nudging.. jls

Thank you so much, and I don't often write it, but there are times when it just comes over me and then I express it as a poem. Thanks for reading it and taking the time to review,

This is really good. It has more power in the first and third stanzas, with a really nice softness in the second. Very warm and uplifting.
