Comment from Linda England Bonam

Excellent

That was a very powerful message, disguised as an acrostic!
Very good job with both the message and the poem itself. You are so right! Hopefully you will do well with the contest. You can count on my vote.

Between the last two lines of the first stanza you need to add in a line with the initial 'H' . Let me see if I can find something to suggest.

H aving no lingering despair to impart.

That works.

You can fix it however you want. The rest of it is great.

I admired your minimalist approach and use of the acrostic form and prayer-like declaration of faith. The artwork is a delightful touch. Best wishes in the contest. -Joan

I am not 'religious' but I do like the message. We should be nice to others and try to live in harmony. Nice poem, Ine. Cute video.

This is a excellent poem and an acrostic by the look of it old sport
I suggest you do not center this so that your first letters are all lining up on the left side. It will give this work more punch.
Well done and good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your kind and thoughtful review, Ine. I tried, but then the extra words don't want to go in the middle as I want them to, that is why I changed to center.
