Such serenity and peace within your beautiful poem! I love your color on color...soft as a baby's sweet cheek and warm as a hand within a hand. Congratulations (belatedly) on being the contest winner. Thank you for always shining the Son's light on us!

    Thank you for reminding me of this one, based on my favourite Bible verse. Your review is beautiful! I stopped writing poetry a while ago to focus on short stories, but the urge is coming back ... Maybe next year I'll get back into it.

This was very inspiring with your choice of words and how everything flowed from worship and praise in the way it was written. I enjoyed your rhyme and Romans 15:13.

A very well written poem about Jesus. To sing and praise Him makes life worthy of His love. This is the time of the year when we experience His birth. What a blessing He is~

Beautiful interpretation of that scripture! With all that is going on in the world these days, it is easy to lose faith and hope. But our Creator lovingly offers us ability and peace of mind to cope with the stresses of the day. Our happiness depends not on outer circumstances, but on inner strength that comes from Him.

There is a close connection between the poem and the quotation from Romans. The poem is very positive in mood and content, enhanced by the regular meter. The font suggests the idea of an epistle too!
