This is a very beautiful and well written poem for the Your Happy Place contest. You used very good descriptive and true words with very awesome imagery. I love Penguins. They are so neat to look at. I can only see them on TV or on the internet, but I wish I could see them in person some day. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, Teri

It certainly does seem like a happy place to be, to spend some quiet time and to reflect amidst the wonders of the natural world 'A penguin arrives and touches the shore-'

Absolutely! It is almost as if we feel the closeness of the Lord more when we are out in the natural surroundings like Adam and Eve felt in that first garden. I especially loved:
"to uplift my soul and show that he cares.
Through nature's gifts, my spirit repairs."

This work has reached the exceptional level

A beautiful happy place, where you can be restored emotionally and spiritually, and the majesty and beauty of nature often offer comfort and renewed strength. Your poem is composed with skill and care, and I love the finale with the special gift of a penguin to share your special moments of withdrawal.

Everyone can find a happy place to call their own even if it is just reading a book.As long as it makes you happy in what ever you are doing while you are doing it.

A blessing in my day to read this poem. When something shows up and gives such a feeling of gratitude and wonder, it is indeed a wonderful gift. Thank God for his tender mercy.

-Your poem lifts my spirits and keeps happy in full view. I like the idea that a happy place can allow you to be who you are and intensity of emotion.

-Sparkling revelations in your poem and strengths that appear in your writing: tone and sentiment. The power of nature and redeeming love is a strong voice in your poem that is comforting to readers, introspective and soothing.

Well crafted poem, with a genuine and relatable voice.

The author's words are engaging, lovely, peaceful, calm, descriptive
and creative. I pondered on the peace I find at the beach, just being.
The beauty is beyond words! Thank you for the author's notes -
I love this Psalm! The artwork is awesome and compliments these words.

This poem, Surrounded by Wild Majesty, brings us out to the edge of the land to the wide sea where life comes in the greet and remind all of nature's blessings. Nice.
