Really liked the half-rhyme at the end. Using "sieve" That was original. And I do like how you give me spiritual food for fuel to be blessed. Rhymes all felt natural.

Is there a reason the last three lines of the poem are smaller? I do like that last line about running worries through His sieve. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Great advice in your poem and I liked your ending:
"the perfect peace
that He can give
run your worries
through His sieve"
(did you mean to make the last lines in a smaller font?)
Great metaphor and imagery and spiritual encouragement! Glad you had that notebook by your bed to write this down!

    No, the smaller lines are my error.

This is a very nice poem about your faith. I see that you are an algebra, readiness teacher. I never understood algebra until after I was grown, and I began to knit As I would read the knitting patterns, I would find that I was using algebra all the time. Then it began to make sense to me. I also see that you are starting to keep a notebook by your bed at night. I am assuming that it is because at night you wake up with a thought that you want to put into a poem. I carry my phone in my pocket all day when I'm out walking and many times I will stop pull up my phone and use the notepad on my phone to write down a phrase or two that I might see as being something that I can use to write a poem or to write a story I just think this is a good practice for all of us. Have a good day and God bless. Patricia.

Excellent and wise poem, with a good message. The font is smaller in the last three lines, which makes it a bit difficult to read. Otherwise, I enjoyed the poem with its clarity, and good rhyme and metre. Well done.

I think I have about ten notebooks scattered around my house, in my bag, in my car. It feels unnatural not to have some place to jot down phrases or ideas. Your poem was very soothing. I liked the rhythmic scheme. It was great advice to turn to God. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

An uplifting poem which displays your strong faith.

A most excellent choice of illustration to accompany your poem. It sets it off nicely.

Good meter and flow. Your poetry delivers a message that there is always hope, not matter how glum or hard life may grow.
