Portia,
You are right. The picture is awesome. When paired with your well-chosen, meaningful words, a great poem emerges.

Your couplets tell the story of your desire to change well with God's help. I like line about God being all knowing.

You have written a beautiful poem with special meaning in your life. Thanks for sharing. It is easy for me to see/know that you are a beautiful person inside & out by just corresponding with you here on FS. I am happy to call you friend. With God, everything is possible. You are living proof.

Thanks for sharing. Jan

    Jan,

    You really touched my heart with you very kind words. I never ever thought I would be penning poems, with only a high school education I didn't feel smart enough. I know it is God who is using me, many times I am amaze how I can pen a poem in less than thirty minutes and receive great reviews. All the Glory and honor belongs to Him. God has placed me in the midst of some loving and very kind people who accepted me for who I am. That in itself means the world to me. I love my Fanstorian Family and I thank God for you. Blessings........................Portia

In my opinion, a beautiful prayer, emotional in expression and fervor - rhyme can be more even - this is accomplished by reading the poem aloud several times and deleting a word here and there. With your permission, just examples - deleting the word, "pure" in the 9th line, and the last line to read, with added commas, "Oh Lord, my God, my solemn vow."...

This is beautiful. It was done strictly from the heart. Keep on writing this type of spiritual appeal. We need much more of this. You have tapped into a strong vein.

Please touch me, dear Lord as only you You can
let me be a part of your Your divine plan...
... I was always taught that as believers we should capitalize any reference to our Lord and Savior when writing about Him, Portia. Hence my suggestions for edits here in red.

Other than that, I find no fault nor errors in this lovely, lyrical poetic proclamation portraying your faith and love for Christ.
When we give up the helm and become God's fist mate, God takes control of our ship to right it and get us though the tumultuous, dangerous craggy rocks of life.

A very well-done piece that would make King David proud. Indeed, you have even made yours rhyme! Your cry out to Hod is both noble and true, and the reader can tell that it comes from the heart! Keep up the good work

This poem is beautifully composed in the form of a prayer. As you say in your notes, hate is a most destructive emotion and best put to one side.
