You will be kept becaue you've requested to be kept, and the Lord answers all request that abide in his will and those that love his son. Excellent poem.

Every word, every line in this wonderful poem is ever so true. Without faith in God, there is no salvation. Keeping your faith in Him strong will keep you on the path of your destined place,,,,,heaven. This poem should be read by all to help them understand our Lord and what He wants for us. Very well done,,,,,,Jim

Beautifully written my friend. So relaxing to me. I look forward to reading your poems even though I miss a few here and there. My writing schedule just won't permit it at this point. Great poem with many word images that jump off the page at me.

Comment from Cry the Vile Rebel

Excellent

Nice example of what happens when someone puts in some extra time polishing rhyme and meter to a fine patina. Well done, this amout of smooth doesn't just lay itself down on a page.

.one small suggestion, third stanza, second line, "sins duress" needs a possessive apostrophe.

Carolyn, this poem reads like a prayer. Your second stanza is ever so true today, with all the insane and rampant killing throughout the world, we could easily loose faith in mankind. I enjoyed reading this. Welcome back, missed your postings...

Hi dear John, I wrote this yesterday as I was waiting for my husbands test results. We came home from Arizona straight to the hospital. He is doing well, brought him home about an hour ago. Some future issues to deal with, but that's life. And with God all things are possible. So glad you missed me and that you liked the poem. (Let's go Cards, boo hoo hoo Yankees :-0 ) Your friend, Carolyn

Excellent

We have a double here...

Besides being an excellent poem...

This would make an excellent prayer...

I could see this published as the weekly prayer in a church bulletin...

Very nicely done...

Hi there, and thanks for the great comments. I appreciate your time and encouragement. I share my poetry with our congregation and rarely buy a card, it is such a blessing to be able to write what we feel, isn't it? Carolyn
