Wow! a very powerful poem Roy. I truly enjoyed reading this one too. The poem is such a true subject as well. It makes a lot of sense if you are a true believer as I am. The photo is awesome too! Keep up the great work.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Roy,
This is a nicely rhymed and smoothly metered poem. It is well constructed to maybe pull in some nonbelievers to the family. It also reminds us that we have to take better care of the world God gave us.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a good week.
Joan

Comment from RJ Heritage
Good morning Owen, oh my, it's very late in your neck of the woods, almost midnight. Anyway, awesome words that show we have a captain, the best in the entire universe who in fact created the universe and all within. Beautifully written and presented. It's great hearing from you.

Comment from Begin Again
The Lord's love and kindness is the beacon of guidance that leads us to everlasting life and without it we are lost in a storm of ignorance, hate, and failure. I love to read John 3:16 and remember how much he gave for me... a debt I could never repay except to believe and take his hand.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from Harambe iz ur Daddy
This is the first post of yours I have seen promoted in quite some time. It's well edited, with no visual glitches or dense contractions, and very easily digestible. The attention to detail is noticeable. Well done!
It is my practice to offer suggestions whenever possible and the only minor one I have to offer is on this line:
If there's no God, we are all fools and life's a joker's game. <= a binary meter places the accent on ARE, a weak word, which is adjacent to a word that sounds much like it (are all). It it was changed to "then we're all fools", the accent falls more on the part of the phrase as one might speak it. "We're" is a pretty rough diphthong, but since this is speech and not song, maybe that's ok.
Thanks for sharing,
🦍

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Roy,
What a beautiful poem. It is true without a captain of our ship we will crash and burn. Having God on our side we will always have the guidance and love we need.
Well done my friend

Comment from Wendy G
An excellent poem, Roy, and you are right - mankind will be held responsible for the poor stewardship of our planet, and simply denying the evidence of climate change, destruction of the habitats of animals and of flora etc. does not mean it isn't evident everywhere. We certainly need to acknowledge God as Creator and get back to following his instructions in humble obedience.
Well said.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
We have been poor stewards of this Earth, and we seem to have gone astray from any plan He had for us. And look where we are.
This poem rhymed well and was so lyrical, Roy. Then, that last line, which hammers it home.
Where are we?
I really enjoyed this.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Hello Roy. You have returned to spread your insights to us about whether there is a god or not. This is a question that each one of us needs to answer for ourselves. You proselytize your Christian ways and hope some of it will stick. I wish you well and hope you gain what you seek.
I will choose what I believe when I want to believe it.
Thanks for sharing your point of view.
