'their lessons I won't ever find'
^To me this would flow better as "their lessons I will never find'

A really well written write. I saw this challenge in the forms and think its neat you took on that challenge. Faith is always a wonderful thing to have...we should never let it go. Wonderfully done.

This is a most uplifting poem and praise to Him, MaryAnne..I feel my day cannot go wrong after reading this at such an early hour:)

It is never too late or too soon to let His love in..it is there eternally and it is the essence of what we are made of.

Beautifully written, I have no other words for it:)

God bless,

5/5 Ingrid

Your writing is fresh and mature. The rhyme scheme is as easy and effortless as any rhyme scheme ought to be, and the word choices are wise and a perfect medium of simple & complex. Most importantly, though this poem is on the lengthier scale, you manage to keep focus; keep a steady direction, making it into a story that the reader can journey along with you.
As to the meaning, which I believe to be a portrayal of the evils of ignorance - it's clear you hold a strong constitution. I like that by the end, the subject of the poem has been freed of ignorance; freed of blindness... under the power of God.
Anyway, that's my take!
Congrats on a great write.

This poem was perfectly written. From start to finish I was so intuned. There arent many writers out there that are willing to write about God. And I give you props for actually writing something that was so uplifting to Him. Amazing job with the format and rhyme. I also agree with 'silvershoes TC': you kept it simple, yet complex. My favorite stanza:

Willows whisper in chorus
as young winds join their chant,
souls of the sinners and saints
dance about the sunlight for long.
I see your presence in others
as I realize you came to save all,
please open my closed heart
and break this stubborn wall.

Beautifully written my fellow poet. 5/5

This is an amazingly well written poem very inspiring and beautifully uplifting

Fantastic! This is indeed a testimony of grace..:) I love how you opened your poem to the readers mind....

I have gone through my life
like the packed pages of a book,
comprehending just the words
never caring to fully look.

This is what we all do, and you have worded it so well.. comparing it to a book.

Then you realise your need of Christ....

as I realize you came to save all,
please open my closed heart
and break this stubborn wall.

And your acceptance of him....

I no longer lurk in mournful shadows
but light my candle of hope
for you have ignited my spirit and soul
and illustrated ways to cope.
I am now a daylight songbird
having earned loving wings
forever will I pronounce your name
Oh Lord of lords, King of kings.

A wonderful testimomy to our Lord, Lol. He is indeed King of Kings! :) Well written and expressed, with beautiful imagery . I so loved these 2 lines..
