You have written a most beautiful sonnet with great spiritual origin.There are not many
good sonnet writers on this site, so this should fare well.It was poignant and very moving.
Good luck, I wish for you-Jaybird

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
What a beautiful poem. It flows. I tells a story. It touches my heart. You have captured the interest of the reader very simply, yet the complications that you omit are very prevalent. You have mastered the message. Good luck with everything you do and God Bless you,

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Lovely Janet - a perfect entry for the Sonnet Contest. Your abab rhyme is spot on. Your iambic pentameter is very good - lovely moving words. Your turn in the third stanza works well with a good ending in your couplet rounds off the sonnet perfectly. The only little thing I would say is that maybe if you abbreviate 'quandaries' to 'quand'ries' that line would read easier - only a thought - not a criticism. Good Luck - regards Dorothy xxx Oh! ignore - I've just done the usual spell check at the end and I have been pulled up for using 'quand'ries' LOL - what do I know LOL.

Comment from coffeeandink
What a lovely way to start the day, forgive the past, trust and pray, with the Lord's compassion I will start my day. Free, to make a mistake or two, hopefully Lord, it's between me and you. A beautiful poem, a sonnet. A beautiful friendship, you must have, with grace. Beautiful.

Comment from Sanku
Regrets.Saddest part of life is that we cant undo our faults. Since we thank our Lord for all the blessing s, I think we can lay our misdeeds at his feet.
he has to forgive us . and give is redemption

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This brings to mind my favorite psalm 149. In the psalm it speaks our need for the realization that no matter what we've done how far into the depth we fall he is with us, loving us. It may not be as difficult a struggle as the speaker senses it is to get God's love. We don't even have to earn or win it. His love is given freely. In the 12-step program it says it is ok to look at the past but not to stare at it nor shut the door on the past. We can grow from it. This is well written. I am voting for this.

I like the positive message your poem embodies. It rhymes, it makes sense, it's spiritual, and it invokes emotions within the reader. Good luck in the contest.

Precious pen pal: beautiful message about being free at last.
The world way is a fast high but the results are seperation with
our sins. Jesus will hold our hearts and hands when we confess
and reconnect. Hope this touches hearts for the Kingdom.

Comment from Wabigoon
I think there's a Kafka story about a spiritual pilgrim who stops outside the Great Guru's, or God's door and spends all of eternity waiting there to be let in. Something like that -- don't quote me. But, I don't think your should be waiting. My guess is the Great Lord will look just like you and, of course, forgive you. According to a very interesting book I am reading called Life after Life by Kate Atkinson we can re-enter our lives again and again to change the past. Try the book, you might like it. She's a very powerful writer.
