Thank you, Patricia, for liking my poem. And may you be richly rewarded for your faith, too.
Comment from Tim Margetts
This is a quiet, graceful reflection that draws strength from its simplicity. I liked how you echoed the biblical image of the widow's oil-it's a powerful metaphor, and you handled it with a light, respectful touch. The repetition of "just enough - no more" gives the piece a nice rhythm and a sense of completeness that mirrors the message of sufficiency.
If anything, I wonder if the line "trials sore" might flow more smoothly as "sore trials," but that's minor and may come down to personal rhythm.

Thank you, Dolly. I think what I meant was I don't necessarily get more grace and strength than I need--just enough for every problem!
Thank you so much for the review and your good wishes for the contest.
Comment from Bill Schott
This spiritual poem, Just Enough, has the proper formatting and seems to settle on the positive idea that God responds to need with the exact amount to meet it.

I think you hit it right on the head, thought sometimes I think God gives us extra grace! Thank you very much for your review, Bill.
