Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Would You?, asks the readers to put themselves in Jesus' place and imagine forgiving the world, as well as all those who took great pleasure in killing Him.

Verna,
What a wonderful poem, extolling Jesus' forgiving nature and love for mankind!
I'm not sure without God's help I could be so forgiving.
Exceptional.
Best wishes, Verna.

Comment from Patty Mazzurco
This poem thoughtfully explores themes of personal insult, identity, faith, and forgiveness. It effectively uses repetition to emphasize the emotional and moral challenges faced when one's integrity, beliefs, and actions are questioned. The final line provides a powerful contrast, highlighting Jesus' example of forgiveness amidst suffering. For slight improvement, consider tightening the language to avoid redundancy and enhance the poem's impact. Overall, it poignantly addresses the struggle to remain calm and forgiving in the face of deep personal attacks.

Comment from BethShelby
This is true. It gives us something we need to think about. Being human is no excuse for saying we shouldn't strive to be like Jesus. Christ had the nature of human but he had more control over his emotions than most of do. We need to all ask His help in gaining control of our own lives.

Thank you for finding agreement with my poem. As Christian friends, we have an outlet here to encourage each other with our words.
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Well written with much food for thought and for some, some soul searching also.
So often we don't know what we would do until we are in a situation.
I especially like the last stanza for what Jesus did to save us is definitely
a huge challenge for many to process and answer.
Blessings

Thank you, Shirley for your excellent review. I did some soul searching as I wrote it, too. We are not only challenged to be like Jesus, but also, we have His help.
