Very nice poem, that I agree with wholeheartedly! I liked the flow, but one line tripped me up: "here is a story that must soon be told." I think it would read better without the word "soon." Just a suggestion. Favorite line: "For wherever we go, we leave a trend," Good job!

Comment from Summer J Breeze
At first, I could not get past the background colour, I thought it jarred against the picture and was too insipid, but then I zoomed out and took in the whole thing. Much better. I knew you must have chosen it for a reason. Sometimes I just have to look at things differently.
And so I saw the peace to be found in it, and fleshtone, too. Humanity against the magnificent colours that God provides. Both good choices.
Suggestions:
Take 'soon' out of thr 4th line, and it will flow better, I think.
no capital on 'My'
A well-written warning against temptation. Good job.

This work of devotion really honors the spirit of faith. It's a blessing to be able to reach out and share with others those emotions that move the soul through faith.

I am new to the site and am enjoying my excursion into literary bliss, especially with poetry like yours! I have never been into poetry but I am finding that I have been missing out.
Your poem is inspiring and speaks to my soul. Though English is not your native tongue you have an excellent command of the language. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Comment from Nylsaj
Wow this is a deep expression of love reflected from the heart of God who is the source. Love is the spiritual connecting gene in us to God to reflect who He is. When we are totally abandoned to Him we unconsciously walk in His footsteps. This poem has splendidly expressed that love. The poet has exposed their heart and soul for others through His love.
Thanks and God Bless you.

Comment from Herb
A thought provoking poem. I liked the third stanza particular. We all leave a mark. The Buddhists say life is like flying through a lighted window with darkness on either side-all we have to do is try not to crack it-I added the cracking bit myself tut tut.

Comment from bowls
A very pleasant poem both in message and sound. The rhythm and rhyme scheme are extremely pleasing to the ear, and the words present a truly lovely message. I think the first two lines set the tone really nicely. The many images of light - "golden treasure", "golden strand","sunshine", further enhance your beautiful message.In the second stanza "laying" should be "lying".
