I enjoyed your picture and your words. Its true, if we keep our focus on the blessings and the Lord, the other things will be easier to handle. Blessings my friend.

Beautifully written! What a powerful and inspirational message of truth! There seems to be a lot of inspirational poems on this site today, with the same meaning behind them, only in various formats and ways of wording things. I am amazed by it, and beginning to wonder if God is trying to tell me something. lol..He does work in mysterious ways! Basically, what we do today, determines the outcome of tomorrow, as well as our future. God has a plan for all of us, we just have to listen to him when he speaks, so we will know what that plan is, and we can act on it. He is always there to see us through our struggles, all we have to do is trust in him, and do the best we can each day to work on our character defects, while treating others as we want to be treated. Most importantly, we should always let the ones we love know it, because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. We need to seize the moment, doing our very best at everything we seek to accomplish, and let God handle the rest. GREAT POEM! :)

Thank you so much for your great review and yes you never know when God may be speaking to you. Been working on some issues in my life and it led me to write this, I am so glad you enjoyed this alot. Please feel free to check out some of my previous work if you like. I mostly write Romantic and Christian/Spiritual Poetry but have poems on Friendship, a couple I think on the patriotic, birthdays etc.
Take care.

Comment from amahra
Ok. Let's get the negative out of the way first.
2nd stanza, 2nd line did you mean to say a stray or astray.
4th stanza, 2nd line did you mean to say some how or somehow
Now for the poem: I thought the Art work was breathtaking. I really loved that you picked that art piece. I loved the poem itself for its its look on screen which is in Italic. I thought that was appropriate. I loved the poem also for the thought provoking message about our Righteous standing with God. I liked the grey background color and colorful font which compliments the Art as well as the writing. Great poem my friend.

Thank you so much for your kind review I made those changes I am glad that you caught them. just one note the background is white as I never added any color to it, at least that I am aware of and it still looks white to me. Not sure why you may be seeing grey but I guess it is OK if you like it anyway. Take care.

Ok, it probably is white. Up against the white on the site, it looked grey. But it doesn't matter. It's probably my eyes. lol
Comment from Haggard
This poem brought forth an encouraging statement that I believe many people should follow. You are one of hope and faith which is admirable. The read was excellent. No faults.

Thank you so much for your kind words, been going through somethings in my life which caused me to write this and I think it turned out well. I am hoping that it does inspire people and cause them to also take a look at where they are in life as well. Thank you, and take care.

Comment from cheyennewy
Hi Larry,
a stray = astray
This is a lovely poem and one I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. You have penned a lyrical rhyme and the meter is strong throughout. You have selected expressive words and each line is well thought out. Well done, chey

Comment from DecrepitOldBag
You are correct in that it is fruitless to dwell upon the negative aspects of life. Even for those like me who are not in the least religious, this is still true. I think this poem is well written and has a pleasant flow and rhyme.
Warm wishes

Thank you Lat I am glad that you enjoyed it. It was a bit more of not to dwell on the negative as it was to look at the negative in your life and try and change it, especially with the Lord's help.
Thanks again for your review.

Comment from Kingsland
It's never too late, is a false statement. You can't live your whole existence in hate, fear, greed and arrogance and then at the last moment before death. Just thinking that I said I was wrong makes it all okay. Do you think Hitler would get a new, if he said, I was wrong. What you do in this life sets you on a course for your next ride through this soulful experience, Karma. You set the wheels in motion and the wheels will turn in the direction you set them upon. Good poem, even if I don't totally agree with some of what it is expounding... John

Thanks for your review, Even tho it may not be able to be said in the poem itself referring to "Its never to late" It should be as you may be thinking, Its never to late unless you have died or up into the time you are dead.
If God's salvation was meant to be for Hitler and upon Hitlers final last words spoke and said "Lord forgive for the wrongs I have committed and Jesus saved him then he would be with the Lord today. As far as we know that never happen but just saying it could.
Perfect example is the one thief on the cross next to Jesus was yelling and saying if thou be Christ save thyself and us.
and the other thief said, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
So you see it was not long after that thief had died as well but Jesus forgave him.
Don't mean to get off on that subject in a review but if that is what you were referring to then I hope that helps, if something else then I apologize. Take care and thank you so much for your review again.

The example you gave of a thief hanging on a cross asking for forgiveness is not the same as Hitler or Saddam Hussein on their death beds asking for forgiveness.
Karma will still come into focus. What comes around, goes around...
