Comment from TPAC
Straight forward in its delivery, compelling thought-provoking views to consider, love is stronger than your struggles: I found true. A worth while read in my opinion.

Comment from Mustang Patty
Dear Anonymous Poet;
Thank you for sharing this lovely free verse extolling Faith, Grace, and Love. Where would any of us be without these things?
Your poem is well structured and moves with an ebb and flow that sets the pace nicely.
Good luck in the contest,
~patty~

Comment from ameen786
A powerful write with gravitating verses, "Grace does not care what face you wear," and the best, "Love is stronger than your struggles." Great flow and quite inspiring; thanks for sharing and good luck!

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, an almost symphonic sound in the read - faith is clearly expressed in its lyric free verse presentation - a beautiful melodic expression, which complies perfectly with the prompt, warmly delivered. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I enjoyed your free verse poem of Faith, Grace and Love, and the meaning of each one. I rather like the way you have explained them,
Faith being the solid ground beneath murky waters...
Grace does not care what face you wear... ( that is a lovely way of saying it.)
Love is stronger than your struggles... That is my favourite. Love between two people can take whatever life throws at them. Well done. I really enjoyed your poem. :) Sandra xx

Comment from Pantygynt
In three stanzas this free verse takes a look at faith, grace and love, Repeating these features at ththe beginning and end line of the appropriate stanzas. The poem both defines each feature and describes its action and purpose in our lives. There is a very definite grammatical pattern using the conjunction and twice in each stanza to bind the attributes and actions together. The poem has been well conceived and constructed.

Comment from estory
I wouldn't exactly call this free verse. this is actually pretty structured. you have a strict meter here, a rhyme scheme, a framework of stanzas. It is more like a pastoral romantic poem, a traditional meditation on faith, grace and love. Free verse is much more opened up, more dictated by the drama of what's being said, and the flow of thoughts from the writer. Read EE Cummings, Denise Levertov, Donald Hall, Jack Anderson. estory

Comment from James H. Oldfield
I really liked this, both profound and a wonderful self-expression of faith.
The final line of stanza one is excellent, really superb. I'm going to. Are a point to try memorise that :)
Great job, not a thing to fault, here.
Take care.

Yes love rules the universe, it's the very springboard which faith which is the only thing that is pleasing to God, and relies on, precipitating grace which is the unconditional willingness to forgive. Good job, as an excellent free verse entry in this beautifully scribed, it's so true, Love is greater than one's struggles, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy
