You picked the Master of dissertations as an inspiration. Your poem is a gentle reminder to us all, as well as your author's notes, that there is usually a sacrifice or some kind of pain that leads to future happiness. We of course think of the Sacrificial Lamb (Jesus Christ) as he died on the cross to erase our sins and give us hope for the future. This is a beautiful composition.

As I read this, I thought about Khalil Gibran. I first read his poetry in high school fifty-five years ago and have since given his book, The Prophet as a graduation gift. This is wonderful. I wish you well in the contest.

Beautifully penned from your heart of struggling faith. Faith that has not been tested is not pure faith in my opinion. Mine has been through the fires many times. I'm sure as I suffer even now, my faith will come forth shining. Thank you for this awe inspiring work. I think you won the contest with this one.
Sending you my best today as always,

Hello Friend,
Nice piece of Spiritual Poetry having smooth flow with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Impressive and perfectly matching the theme phraseology.
I like these lines very much:
''When balanced...Back again."
It's just like swimming against the waves, Bravo!
Best of Luck in the contest.
