Heartfelt spiritual poem about God and how you have sensed his presence in your life. I liked your descriptive language. You expressed your emotions, the reader could feel your anger, happiness or rage as you described these situations. Nicely done.

Oh Diane, as I read this I was thinking "I hope this is a contest entry to the Spiritual poem contest" - I see it is not. It should have been. It is the most beautiful example of spirituality I have read. You acknowledge everything that is beautiful and things that are not, are all the hand of a spiritual Maker. His design is in everything we see and do, and you have written the most lovely example of this. A well deserved six. Regards Dorothy xx

Such a beautiful, well rendered poem, Diane.
This one truly came from your heart--I can tell.
Funny how we're able to discern what is perceived by us as pretentious and what feels real, and true.
I've no doubt that what you have so wonderfully penned here is true.
And I, for one, could not agree with you more.

This is a superb tribute to you relationship with the Lord. Mine is not always perfect either but I need him more in the bad times. I loved this and thought it the absolute best of all the spiritual poems I have seen lately. Extremely impressive.

Excellence. This is a beauty. You show that we are not always in God's good graces nor HE in ours. I like the raw honesty of that. Creative. Honest. Unique. Raw. Great job with this. Good Luck! Loved it!

    Dear Wendy Aune,
    I am so very honored by your exceptional rating and complimentary review.
    I wrote this piece in 2007. It was very cathartic for me then, and I just felt the need to share for today's readers...
    So pleased it resonated with you...
    Happy Easter...

Someone told me that God won't chase you if you turn away from Him. I disagree. He chased me when I was off doing my own thing. I completely agree with you. He never lets us go, we may stray, but He's always there

The different ways in which we interact with the Almighty, depending on the circumstances of our lives, is in stark contrast with His unswerving love and this comes across very strongly in your poem. Wishing you a very happy Easter too!

Yes it sounds like you're not a stranger to God. I'm thankful that He looks at the heart and not everything we say or do. David was a murderer and an adulterer and yet, what did the Lord say about him? He said that he was a man after His own heart. I guess it's good that God didn't see all of his outward baggage to judge him by. The master probes deeper. He saw something else there. I like this. I like the message of faith and how inspirational this is. Well done Ms. KT.
