Very nice acrostic about the soul gardener.
Advice about returning to Him is good, as He promised never to leave or forsake us.
We may insist on our own way, but deny the privilege of receiving the soul-nourishment we truly need.
No matter our circumstances, we can be assured by words written by an Apostle that whether free or bound, He is with me (or something like that!)

a strong acrostic for the Soul Gardener - sorry I somehow missed this when it was first posted. With the site going down over and over I have totally lost track of things.
You use garden imagery extremely effectively - I like the choking weeds references in particular
and I like that this does not read like an acrostic - the lines flow naturally and never sound like you wrote something just to use the next letter required

Thank you so much my friend; some have asked me to highlight the first letter - my idea was 'seek and ye shall find' the message is there. I thought your B&W acrostic was just great and you probably will win! Lots of hugs, Kay XX Toby X I do wish they would fix the site - most annoying!!

A whole lot of us have reached the boiling point of frustration. I have no idea how all this tech stuff works, but I do know that I never have these problems with facebook and they have even more traffic on their system.
-
Indeed, when you ask why (as I have done)they say it must be my computer (which it is not because the last message from my server said FS had the problem! C'mon guys, get your act together - we don't need larger pages for our work - we just need FS to work 24/7 and they wanted me to pay $59 for two years - not while this rubbish is going on! :-{ hugs K.

I agree - every time I hear Tom say upgrade, especially for cosmetic reasons, I cringe. Leave well enough alone!
-
And because our times are different, I sit down to review around 6.30pm - closed for maintenance! Bloody hell - how much maintenance does a site need? If it works, leave it alone...please.
-
I couldn't agree more, my friend. It even interfered with my classes a couple of times, and I hate pissing off paying customers.
Comment from Righteous Riter
This piece meets the criteria of the acrostic poem as this piece spells out the words the soul gardener. Good alliteration with happy/his...to/tend...His/hand...to/tend...before/begun. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Come unto me all who labour and are heavy laden ....
A beautiful acrostic, my dear friend, Kay. And such a powerful message.
without Jesus holding me tight, I would collapse under the strain .. me too, Kay. I couldn't have made it through life's battles without Him by my side.
All the best in the contest, dear.
Huge hugs,

Comment from Alan K Pease
Sometimes we live for our disabilities. The pressures of life create distrust in our senses and we can come to disbelieve that Jesus is there. Faith is measured in trust and good deeds of ourselves and others. When we measure the positive we see ultimate good in our lives and in Him. I am probably not as profound in measuring Him as are you but I do like the things you say. Hi Kay/love Alan. Good acrostic and Good Luck in the contest.

Hello Possum, Do we own our disabilities or do our disabilities own us? Some days I am down on the floor - we all go through those stages - some days I wish I didn't wake up. Then someone needs me - I am simply a tool for the love of those who need my help. I don't doubt that Jesus is there but it is US that opens the doors to life - some folks blame God if it goes wrong and others wish He would open the door. Jesus gave us free will. I am not a religious person - my people believe that the ancestors live within the trees and all living things. I respect all living things and have no interest in 'must have' gadgets - yes, I need the computer - how else could I write to you? Thanks my friend Alan - big hugs and love across the miles with lots of smiles. Kay XX

What resonates so strongly with me is the imagery of Jesus as Shepherd both in the picture and the words, Kay. Along with your Author's Notes, you obviously have a great faith and true love for Jesus. That comes through beautifully in this acrostic. Well done, my friend.
Hugs, Bev

G'day Bev, Thanks so much for reading; He brought me through the three months in hospital and losing my leg. Glad you liked the imagery - I loved the painting of the Lord. Blessings my friend, Kay XX

There's truly no better friend.
You're very welcome, Kay. You always inspire me to go beyond the surface of life. A real gift, my friend.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
A perfect title and image which enchances the spiritual tone and beauty of your poem.
Such a deep expression of faith and spirituality and it inspires me to thank my Saviour also for tending me-a lowly weeding his garden.
1glitch-last line-Gardner =gardener
Just a suggestion-If you highlight the first letter of each line and justify the text .si it rests to the left the title will be far more obvious.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Aussie - a strong acrostic though I think to make it stand out as an acrostic I would have the poem left margin so it clearly stands out. Otherwise your post is well penned and shares a strong spiritual message.
Thanks for sharing it and good luck.
