HI, This is a very nice poem and I love the message and the fact it is a sonnet, However I think you need to know that line three is really off meter Da-dum, da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum. Meter has been hard for me to conquer as well but makes all the difference in a sonnets' sound.
I don't have a suggestion. You syllable count is right on but it makes you stumble. Lovely poem though. (^_^) Nancy

    I struggled with that line for a long time and the way I would say it is different than how others read it. I will work on it some more. Thanks so much-I am still struggling!!! Debbie

What a fabulous message you have in this lovely sonnet.
If man would heed your words and let go of anger and
war, we could finally have peace.
It sounds like a lot to ask, but this sounds like what
life should be like. A life of grace...awesome!
Your works are wondrous, my friend.
Marie

You know, I'm snagging your line "Creation of a life of love and grace" and running with it. I'm not sure how many would see that line as powerfully as I do. It simply says to me that if we were to all raise decent children, most everything else in this poem would follow. I'm not sure you were going there with it, but I did. :)

Nice work, Debbie.

This is a very lovely poem and it speaks of worthwhile goals. It is so very unfortunately though that there are so many in this world who seek the very opposite.

Thanks for sharing this. JW

Lovely photo for a well written poem about grace. Have you considered a Bible verse reference to go with your lovely poem? I would be appropiate to include. I agree with you message and did a Ladies prayer partner tea about grace. Thanks for sharing, Deb

    That is such a good idea. Isn't grace important, and most don't even think about it. Thank you~Debbie
