Carolyn, you know Im not a poet by any means. But to begin and end your poem with the identical lines, then everything in-between was so genuine. written from your deep faith.
Pure in heart oh let me be
Loving, kind dear Lord like Thee
Every line had the "double E" rhyme. It flowed beautifully. Nothing forced.
Glad to have read it at 4:45am!! John

Comment from mfowler
I don't know how you did it,but you kept that 'ee' final sound in the rhymes going throughout. It was so natural that I didn't even notice. Your meter seems strong and with that repetitive sound flows like a song of praise. I love the things you ask for:
I ask forgiveness Lord for me
Lord bless me with humility
Forever blessed tranquility
Faith without end eternally
These are truly what Jesus promises, so your poem is really a prayer of the humble heart. Well done!

Comment from suep
This is a beautiful poem and a great entry for the Faith Poetry Contest. Great sentiments of faith expressed. I liked how you began and ended with the same two lines that encompass it all. I enjoyed your rhyming within and between the stanzas - humility / maturity / tranquility. Wonderful heartfelt message ... great job! :)

Comment from Dom G Robles
I like this poem. Very meaningful and very appealing. A prayer for guidance to do good. Away from temptation. The rhyme and rhythm are exceptional, from beginning to end, I suppose the rhyme and rhythm was maintained throughout. Congratulations.
