I have been pondering a lot on what I call "heart-work" myself. Your words give even more to ponder. One of my favorite sayings is that I believe the Creator communes with his children through his creation. Looks like He has your full attention.

Wonderful faith poem without the preaching. (love preaching) But prefer to here new words in new ways when reading poetry. You did that. Loved the poem. I agree with the message.

My cup runneth over in agreement, reading this.

Pavlov's dogs we are not. Fear breeds, so do dogs, but none are more sheep-like than the greedy human.

Nicely phrased, and this poem also flows beautifully. I enjoyed the premise, as it's truth, and so often remains unacknowledged. Well done - very creative.

Good poem that really contains such wonderful truths. I thought this started out really well, but starting with the line about Pavlov it seemed to get cluttered and reading it through your words give the impression of being rushed and not thought out. pehaps shorting a line or two, or rethinking some of your words. Still over all it's a very good poem with some excellent thoughts.

Well done.
This piece was full of thoughtful considerations. Much pondering preceded the theme and its conclusion. As free verse it was well presented and kept the reading tempo and expectancy high throughout, which is not always easy to do.
Good job.
