Comment from Ginda Simpson
This is an exquisitely written poem, well deserving of six stars that I unfortunately don't have to give you. Your rhyming is flawless, but it is the message that is perfect in every way.

Comment from Brenda Strauser
This is a beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading it. I liked some of the words you used such as: His unseen footprints will be my guide. God does guide us in the right direction. Good luck in the contest. Great job!

Comment from Natureschild
This poem is beautifully written while being a touching reminder of the power of belief to navigate life's storms with courage and hope. You have created a striking contrast between the chaos of rough seas and the calm in the eye of the storm. The rhythmic flow and rhyme scheme enhance the poem's readability and lend a sense of the rhythm of the waves. - I enjoyed reading it. - Terry

Thank you, Terry. Your review strikes a poetic tone in itself, and you mentioned something in the photo that escaped me. I didn't notice the rhythmic pattern of the waves, which is a very astute observation. Thank you for that and your overall positive review. John

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is very well put together with rhymes so sweet and the message divine and full of faith.
The script of the font is easy and nice to read. The picture of the ship in the freezing water is well chosen.
I love the faithful entry into the faith contest and hope you win hands down.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi John, your poem is beautifully penned in soft and soulful imagery.
Of special note:
The storm has loosened its hold on me.
And through His blue sky, God's face I see.
(He's always there, if we just look.)
Silky rhyming. Well-chosen photo. A pleasure to read. Excellent spiritual writing. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.
Please accept my virtual Six. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Thank you, Margaret. Your kind words mean far more to me than a sixth star. I appreciate your review and best wishes. John
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is a lovely metaphor of life's struggle so vividly expressed in this verse about being lost at sea. The presentation immediately engages and then your fine verse captures the frightening experience of being in the grip of emotions that cannot at first be managed until a ray of light shines through the grey and reminds you that you're being guided through the storm. A strong contender for the contest, John, and I wish you luck! Debbie

Comment from GoWiSt
Wow! Very nice complementary picture art choice.
Good reading flow and aabb rhyme scheme to your quatrains here.
A very nice inspirational spiritual (Christian?) poem of believing that God will be there for one, right in the midst/worst of their troubles.
Very well expressed, with good metaphoric imagery.
Good luck in the contest!

beautiful. He is with us and we need only put our trust in Him, is the message I got from your poem.

Comment from Shirley Ann Bunyan
I'm impressed with your poem, John. Your metre is good and the rhymes read fluently for the most part.
Maybe lose 'bright' on the 2nd stanza, last line. It tends to jar a bit.
You did a good job conveying the might of the storm and the need to trust in God.
Well done.
