I am so thrilled about the theme of this poetry! It is sorely needed.
Great rhythm and rhyme! The artwork was perfect and so was the visuals this poem elicited. Great job! More! More! More!

We are custom made by God and God doesn't make mistakes. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I don't want to get political, but my brain immediately went there. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

    That would've been a good thing to put in there, about God not making mistakes, but you're probably right, too political.Youre also right that He's always right! Thanks!

I loved your choice of artwork for this piece and the accompanying message about understanding our personal individuality and value, as created by God. This is a lovely use of rhyme to convey an uplifting theme. Good luck for the contest!

What a wonderful well written piece of rhyming poetry Tina. I really like the message that you have conveyed so effectively in the last stanza,
"So if you start to doubt your worth,
remember what is true.
You're custom-made by God alone,
to be uniquely you."
Beautiful!!
