I am so glad to have my attention brought to this beautiful poem, Janet. Congratulations on the second place win. I love your use of metaphors, and I especially loved the closing line. "To love, obey and follow Him and claim our destiny" is the best way to go, for certain. This is a beautiful testimony of faith and I'm glad you shared it here. MM

    Thank you ever so much for this encouraging review and special stars MM. I am so pleased that you enjoyed it. I think we share a common bond the Him and our destiny.
    It's been a busy spring here with so many things going on, I don't always get to FS everyday and was delighted when I realized this took 2nd place. Now I'm off to check out your 1st place poem. Your poetry is always a joy and inspiration to read. Thank you again dear one.

    Blessings

A well written post that is beautifully presented. For sure, I know that I feel closer to God when I'm out in nature. How can one not believe when surrounded by miracles?

It felt like the mountains are such majestic landscapes and it was a good comparison about climbing and getting to the peak or places and how similar it is to real life for some situations to overcome. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! To be able to decorate such a topic with the substance, that you did on this, was like watching Picasso paint the perfect picture. And that's hot! Keep Writing. And stay connected

This is a lovely posting with a message of extreme importance. We are given guidelines for living by a loving God. Faith in Him and His complete goodness is a golden stairway. I enjoyed reading this very much! :-)

These inspiring stanzas remind us of the sheer grandeur of the natural world all around us, if we take time to observe together with a sense of our place in that world

I felt myself climbing with you as I read stanza by stanza, and at the point of rocky paths I even felt my breath quicken as though laboring to continue on to peak. It is always quite an achievement to attain that goal. Thank you for bringing memories back to me.

-Lovely image and nice presentation, Janet.
-You wrote a very good poem with effective
imagery, meter, and rhyme.
-Mountains always make a good topic, too.
-I like the progression in your poem from
the chasms to longing to climb, and reaching the peak.
-One of my favorite images is
"Swift waters surge and eagles' soar."
-I also like the message in the poem with
the "verities I've come to know
belong to everyone," along with the concluding verse.
-Very well done; good luck in the contest.

    Thank you Pan for the stellar review, your encouraging comments and the extra special 6th star. I loved that you shared your favorite lines as well. I played with that last stanza for days but I'm happy with it as it now stands.
    Thanks again,
