I really enjoyed the first half it made me think out of the box as well emotionally feel the words second half which I enjoyed was so well written just felt to preachy for me and I go to church every Sunday for it just didn't go with the first half but I hope I could write like some day

This was worthy of a six star but I'm out. Sorry I didn't review faster. It's getting hard for me to check in now. I did enjoy this poem and felt a strong point was made. We deny His existence, then blame Him for the bad, destroy the beauty of His creation then never accept responsibility. Yet, His love for us, never waivers. Amazing. Gretchen

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Roy.
-A well written poem with effective imagery and rhyme.
-The poem flows well from beginning to end.
-A very good opening verse with the comparison to a ship.
-A good second verse about what God owns, and
how he made us stewards, but as stewards,
we have to be worthy and do good work.
-Very good closing section about Adam and
his fall from grace. I like how you end
with a couplet, and then the question.
-Very well done.

I really love the opening stanza here Roy, if we don't have God to love a trust to lead the way, then we will be lost souls, like fools walking with our eyes closed.
To be thankful to God for all he has done for us is important and to do the bes the can by him.
Very nice work, you have great rhyme and flow and of course a very important message from rhe heart your wishes to share.
Well done Roy!
Best Wishes

This poem, If, sends out the message that whether one believes in God or not, He is the Master of the Universe and controls all things. He does not need our help, but we can use His.

If - is a powerful poem, Roy and your words written with the passion that comes straight from your heart, your faith. I think there are too many captains on different courses in our world at the moment. This one gave me goosebumps Roy, well done.
Cheers
Valda

This is a really interesting work of art you have chosen to go with your beautiful poem. The questions you pose in your poem are so accurate for God's plan. The answers are a bit of an inditement on us for not believing enough or trying our best.

You wrote/constructed (?) a very nice poem with a message that will pass the test of eternity.
I don't quite get why you ask where Adam is, though. I'm befuddled.
Best wishes.

    When God called for Adam when he had eaten of the fruit, he was hiding God said to Adam, where are you? I'm surprised you asked Wayne, thanks for the great review, blessings Roy
reply by Wayne Fowler on 05-Mar-2025
    Oh, I thought you meant where was Adam after he died - heaven or hell.

a great and moving statement of the Christian faith in God and his mercies. While I am not a Christian, I can appreciate this statement of faith in God.
