thanks, Lovely red head - lack of capitalization and punctuation was intentional - jan

Simple, heartfelt and eloquent about His comfort. My favorite stanza and a good reminder for all of us!

no longer torn by worldly needs
nor taunted by its jeers
that small, still voice of Yours
is all I need to hear

This is a beautiful spiritual poem. It certainly describes a strong faith in our Savior. The seventh stanza is my favorite, it says it all. Good luck in the contest. Bill

Beautiful and touching poem inspired in the Psalms, my favorites. My two favorite lines are these ones "then You called me by my name
though I'd never seen Your face...Oh, so beautiful.

hey, jude. So good to see you again. Thank you so much for this exceptional rating. I've been doing so much technical writing the last 6 months I was beginning to think I had lost my creative touch. love, jan

This was beautiful and meaningful.
It was a great tribute to the mercy of God, the total weakness of humanity and the simple reward of surrendering to Grace.

Your rhyming was good and assisted the flow of the narrative so well.
Keep up the good work.

I enjoyed reading your Faith contest entry. There's a praise song by the same name and it always brings tears. It's my youngest son, he's 21 and my favorite praise song. Good luck with the contest.
