Excellent faith based poem with only fifteen syllables. There is comfort in your words and your poem reminds the reader to look to God. You did well creating a short faith based poem.

Haha. Looking at the sea and hearing about it make me want to go and visit a beach. Fortunately I will visit Spain in about 5 weeks. What does "Great, I'M" mean exactly?

Well done.

In the scripture God spoke saying I AM, I declare Him this Great.

There is a lot of confidence in these simplistic words, I wish you luck with the contest. Our fears exist to protect us, but we sometimes take them to heart, love Dolly x

You did a great job with your fifteen syllables (yes, I counted). Your poem was inspiring and beautiful. We can sometimes forget that we are blessed to be children of God, and this is a lovely reminder. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Hello J,
It's a great wish, and a nice thought... I might think twice before I said it to a would-be serial killer though. ;) It's like hollering "FIRE!" in a crowded theater... lol
I don't know what made me think of that... probably what's been on my TV recently. Too much murder. ;)
I will try to release my fear. Perhaps I'll try to post more personal things this year.
Have a great day!
Susan :)
