Extremely effective use of your refrain line to introduce each verse
compelling illustrative examples of things you would do if only you could
painfully-gleaned wisdom - I would add the hyphen
excellent tapestry imagery
strong verb choices
what moving wishes with a strong spiritual component

When poetry expresses how we feel followed by sound doctrine, well, there is not much else to say. If I could....fact is, you can and have.

This sounds like the way we would keep our children from learning life's lessons the hard way by making the mistakes we have already learned from. But we can't do that and everyone has to experience life as it comes to them.

    You are so right, but in my heart of hearts I think I would like them not to suffer so much. That is why God had to leave when Jesus was on the cross. It hurt Him so much and He was afraid He would save Him.
    Thank you very much.

I feel this too...I wish I could be a balm heal the sick bring some calm
But think about what we have done...Raised 3 kids daughters and son
Loved people taught children....If I could turns to did some good..
We r finite beings with infinite aspirations....Ecc 3:11
God bless

Hi there,

I really found this piece interesting.
I believe you followed the guidelines for
the writing prompt pretty well.

the line, If I could
I would gladly shower each one
with the worldly blessings , is my favorite of
this lovely illustration. The scheme of magical
and spiritual provision shines through here

great job and good luck

As a believer I would do all these things as well, If I Could. It is my desire to be the best witness for my Lord and Savior so others can come to know Jesus as savior. Patricia

This is a very good spiritual poem for the prompt written in the voice (I assume) of the higher power of God. Good luck in the contest.

I like this very much. Due to free-will, we cannot interfere. We can advise, share our stories,warn, and hope they listen. In my experience, sometimes people ignore the message and make the choice to find out for themselves and live the same consequences you tried to prevent them living. I have thought "If I could" many days raising my twin daughters. I can relate, Amen and Amen!!!!
