This inspiring poem is a painless reminder that it is the duty of each believer to try to reach the ears and hearts of non believers everywhere just as Jesus and his Apostles did so many years ago. Of course the message will fall upon many deaf ears and hardened hearts, but the message and the effort must still go forth. Good job.

Great commission to Good News, mark and sign to Good Friday, for embracing of His love given free from sin, praise Him the true Saviour, speak soft like Him; this influences and inspires for good living per His Grace.

Nice loop poem...not easy. Your praise of our Lord is heartfelt and appreciated, especially now. I like the way your main character recognizes the job she/he has to do "Spread the good news" and "Praise" and then, "His voice speaks soft and gentle" and then back to an instruction, "Embrace His Love". Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

A loop poem, it looks like quite a tricky form to me, repeating the same last word of each line on the next line and making it your first word. Not easy to pull off and keep it flowing... I think you managed it very well friend, well done!

You're not only good writing prose but also poetry. this poem flows very nice and has very very gentle, beautiful words. Your Love for God shown in these lines is a must. I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual.

His voice speaks soft and gentle,
Gentle is His warm embrace,
Embrace His love, given free,
Free from sin, without a trace. -- beautiful verse.

    Hi; thank you so much for your warm review of this work. I'm not religious either - I haven't set foot in a church for over fifteen years. My love of Christ is something I try to reflect within my actions and words. Your words of encouragement mean a great deal to me,

Seven syllables per line suit this style better than eight believe it or not. But I love reading about the Lord, it gives encouragement to those who struggle openly with testimony. So I applaud you for this slightly difficult patty. Well done, great progression, even meter, abcb rhyming, great language, blessings, Roy

The message of love is always peaceful to on lookers. No one makes any effort to rid the world of it because we experience its affect. So, we see it and we don't. But we all live longer because of it. Thanks for the reminder to always remember that if we don't have any thing, we have love.

    Hi Mitchell; I'm very glad you enjoyed this poem. It was so inspired that it came to me in a single thought. Sometimes it works like that, and other times, I stare at the screen for hours,
