Nice poem with steady rhythm throughout. I like the monorhymes in each stanza. This is the second poem I've read this morning on God's peace -- perhaps there's a message I should heed. Have a blessed rest of the week. Carol

In the most personal of terms you have written of your faith (and mine)
in a perfectly rhymed series of monorhymed stanzas and with excellent meter.

I am not the first reviewer to say this, Debi, but nothing happens by coincidence.

You were inspired to write this meaningful poem at the very time I was looking for spiritual comfort due to some very trying issues...

This is a beautiful poem and a special blessing to me today.

With God I do find my inner peace...

You have no idea how desperately I needed to be reminded of that at this moment!

Six stars from me...and thank you!

Karenina

    K, you are a gem. Thank you with all my heart for those beautiful words. You just can't imagine what that means to me right now, as I too, am struggling so needed to remind myself of how much the blessing of having the best family and also the best friends in our lives is not a coincidence either.

    Without all of you I would be stuck in that black hole and facing the big brick wall. Friends like you that I have been blessed with in our lives are the cornerstone. I can't imagine being somewhere where I could thrive on being miserable and dragging everyone around me down too.

    So thank you for the kindest review, those lovely six stars and most of all a wonderful friendship based on an honesty, kindness, morals and respect.
    That is what the meaning is of being abundantly blessed! Thank you again for that.
    Love, Debi

    Ah, the feeling is mutual! There are some who make it a life calling to be decisive or try to turn lemonade into bitter lemons.

    How sad for them! God knows our intentions.

    I put my faith in Him!

Inner peace comes when we are right with God and walking closely with Him, as your poem so clearly expresses. It begins with a choice to avoid and not give in to sin, and to confess it when we do become aware of it. . Pleasing rhyme throughout. Well done

This is a very nicely presented poem for your writing club. The artwork is beautiful and fits well with the poem. I like each stanza having the same rhyme which gives the poem a nice rhythm. Great message, Debi! I enjoyed it.

Well Debi I love your wonderful rhyming poem that changes its rhyming sound at the end of each stanza. I'm really not sure that I've ever seen this before but I love it and you did it so very well. Great job and the message is fantastic.

    Dearest Dan, thank you so very much for this wonderful review, comments and the sweet six stars. We have been on vacation all week so I am just getting to these now. You are awesome, dear brother and thanks again. Love, Debi

If someone reads this and cannot feel the love you have for our Lord, then they have not carefully read it.

This exudes in simple terms what our God is able to give us when one believes in his powers and faith!


Debi, you gave this poem to me at a time when I needed it. Thank you.
John

    Dear brother John, I was on a family vacation last week, but no brothers or even sisters were on this one, so that is why you didn't get the memo. LOL...

    But I thank you for your kind words for my inner peace poem. I appreciate it so much.

    I must have felt the need to repeat myself even tho I didn't hit it more than once.

So, few of us realize in the early years that our life on earth is merely in preparation for the next life in our Father's Heavenly home. And in building my mansion on the streets of gold, I hope it will be bigger than a matchbox or an outhouse. :-) Thanks for sharing.

I like this poem about inner peace. It starts with God, for sure. There are some strong images and verbs in this poem that make it easy to follow and enjoy.

All of that sounds like the perfect way to find inner peace...or I could just read flowing poetry with beautiful rhymes like this all day long. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

After the death of my parents and my husband, I lived in a dark place for a very long time. It wasn't until some awesome friends on FS reached out and urged me over and over to write again that I found I was truly blessed when I used God's gift to write again. I found my inner peace. Beautiful poem, DEbi and great reminder of how I got to this moment in time.
Smiles, Carol
