Excellent

Wonderful poem!!! I like your way of blending the love of God and the way we should also love ourselves. I like these words, Learn to love yourself and laugh - God's grace gleams on your behalf...All the very best in the contest, Kit.

This is a great entry for the contest.
"Learn to love yourself and laugh -
God's grace gleams on your behalf...
His superb strength shining through."
When we realize that we are a child of God, created in His image, we can love ourselves as He made us.

Comment from Pantygynt

Excellent

An interesting seven line poem that seems to be built on a rhyming couplet scheme but at the end, that odd seventh line it loops back to the opening 'a' rhyme once more. The fourth line also has an internal double syllable consonantal rhyme

'Blessings blossom from above.'

Along with good alliteration and consonance this poises the poem for its more didactic second half.
