HG,

Wow. You've been a busy boy lately! I've run across more of your pieces in these last few minutes than I have in days!

This was another lovely poem about the tenderness and love of our Father in heaven and the power of His gentle touch. Very nice. Thank you!

His Grayness, this is a fine poem of faith that continues the themes of your previous poems posted today--God's grace, Heaven, and the spiritual value of touch. You eloquently write:

No, no, not to experience the utopia of "soft" shall come
Until the tender hands of GOD Almighty slides fingers
Of love slowly down your quivering cheeks and kisses

Your poem is tactile and tender and is not about an abstract, distant God. Your closing line repeats the promise of the ultimate closeness to God:

And I pray here and now,
That for you.... one day it shall be!

A fine rhymed poem. The only problem I had is that it is hard for me to read gray font on red background. I suggest white font to stand out.

Thank you for sharing another poem of faith. Have a blessed day.

Your forehead, then breathes "I love you" shall you know
The true dimension of "soft".
And I pray here and now,
That for you.... one day it shall be!

Hi Vance, such a deep powerful soft poem especially to remind all mothers how to bring up their newborn. Love them forever, no matter what. Yes, Jesus is ours to love and cherish Him forever. Terry xoxo

Hi, Vance,
"Soft" is a truly excellent prayer. It is an excellent description of the indescribable, God's love. It has excellent figurative language "the foam of a warm ocean's sweat
is a fresh metaphor.
Your friend and colleague,
Preston

A fine poem, Vance, citing good examples of soft. The poem contains human experiences of soft but then transitions to the final spiritual one that will be the best, God's fingers on our cheek--a prayer for all. Marilyn

Comment from Nika2016

The poem summarizes the love a child feels in life and adulthood ending with the kiss of God....but why wait? One can feel this love in the majesty of the mountains...the solace of the sea as it rocks a lullaby...in the spring wind warming the Earth after winter's cold breath...why it was created...Most misery caused by people...not nature.
Beautiful poem...

A very well-written poem. There is no greater love than the love of God, I can just confirm that what you say is the truth. His soft touch can change the hardest person, if it is His will.

His Grayness, After I read this poem I felt compelled to review it as the first line pulled me right in. Given that your last lines say - And I pray here and now,
That for you.... one day it shall be! - I thought it only right that I thank you for your prayer and for the read of this tenderly written poem. A most enjoyable read indeed. ~DD
