Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Living, Growing, Loving Life, presented with three AABB-rhymed quatrains, reminds the readers that God's promise is still in force as we wait and inform others of the coming day. Nice.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Congratulations on sharing first prize on this. It is a beautiful poem. I like your second verse. We do not serve the Lord just for a place in heaven, but to honour and please Him here on earth.

Thank you Anne for such a lovely review and for your congratulations. Yes there are so many who rely their good works to get them a place in heaven ... but heaven will be a place with NO sin, thanks to Jesus, not just a place where there will be more good than bad.

If we all followed Jesus and His teachings, this would be a better world. I like to call His teachings a blueprint for life. People tend to follow their own blueprint that is where they get into trouble.

Exactly right! We were meant to be in relationship with Him, as our Creator. Life without Him has very little meaning, Thank you so much for your fine review and for your thoughts.
Comment from Tina Crute
This poem fits the contest guidelines, plus you add your personal purpose, that give you meaning in life. Great presentation altogether, as you detail that life is meant to be used of God to love others. No better purpose! All around, with the pic and the adherence to rhymes and purpose for living, a great contest entry. I would vote for this:)

Comment from Jesse James Doty
You surely let God's love shine through you, my friend. I could give at least a hundred or so examples that would show how you put others first and never think of yourself first. You are gallantly loveable and I am proud to be your friend. I see no issues with punctuation or grammar this is a wonderful example of your work!
Have a wonderfully spiritual day,
Jesse

Comment from Paul McFarland
Great content, and the rhyme is perfect. If you clean up the meter, you will have an outstanding poem.
A millionaire, at heaven's gate,
Inquired about the toll.
St. Peter said the cost was great
And asked about his soul.
The rich man said that he'd pay cash,
No matter what the sum.
But St. Pete told him that his stash
Could never overcome
The sins that he'd accumulated
In his mortal role,
That really couldn't be overstated.
He'd dug himself a hole.
He'd not accepted Jesus
As his savior while on Earth,
And if that's how He sees us,
You can bury your net worth.
So after a brief meeting
With this multi-millionaire,
St. Peter found him seating
On a train to you know where.

Great review! Many thanks. Love your poem too. Ah, the metre in mine ... sacrificed yet again to the words. Line-limited (and brain- limited). Will try!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A fine faithful write for the contest and your positive words here are uplifting. Good rhyming, although the meter is uneven, I still enjoyed the message here, love Dolly x

Thank you so much for the lovely review. I might see if I can improve the meter - that's always a bit of a weakness, as I tend to sacrifice it to my words. I appreciate your comments.
