The essence of the christian message is encapsulated here in this effective acrostic about Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane and the suffering He endured for us and our sins and failings.

Will you read and review my My Walk By The Sea poem in the By The Sea contest?

This is a very beautiful and very well written true acrostic poem you have penned for the contest. You used great descriptive and very true words with lovely imagery. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Ciao poet, you have your first vote!

First off I learnt something new : the name of the olive garden where Jesus prayed to God just before He was arrested.

This is my favourite lines:

Son of God is our friend and older brother.
Each of us knows he taught us to love one another.

I love the term : older brother

and how you rhymed it with :

love one another.

PS: you could have chosen a pic of Jesus praying to God about his death soon to come

or dying on the cross to express the drama and pain behind the word you chose : Gethsemane

Nice acrostic, Darla. You have given the reader a brief history of the life of Jesus. Check out line two. I think you have a missing word there. Very good message here.
