Your choice of onomatopoetic words enhances the environment and spirit. The s's invite quietude and pensiveness. It is a time to recommit. This poem will invite the reader to consider these words.

What a wonderful way to start your day spending time in prayer. It gets us off to a good start that will see us through the ups and downs of the day. However, 3:45 am is a little too early for me. (smile)

Very nicely done.

Your well written piece of rhyming poetry reflects your very strong faith and trust in God. In the stillness we can truly speak and listen to Him and you have conveyed this message well.

There is a wonderful message in your poem about God's love for us, and particularly in the way how Jesus died for our sins. A well written piece, Tina. I enjoyed reading it.

your notes are appreciated.

with effective imagery and rhyme.
-You do a good job setting the scene
in the opening verse.

calls you by name and answers
any doubts that you have.

    This repeated, Tina, so I'm writing something so it deletes. It's nothing you did; it just happens sometimes.

Hi Tina,
This well written poem reminds us about what we should all do more of. In our busy days we need to find quiet time to be with God.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a good rest of the week.

    Thank you, Joan. I'm just learning, at age 60, that I've been missing out over the years in not having More quiet time with God. I will stay healthy if you will! And have a good week:)
