Very touching. i have strayed away from God and i'm afraid my faith is a bit rusty...ok, very rusty. Your poem has inspired me to be so much more. thank you!

Don't want to bore you with the "awe this is so nice" comments, but I was wondering if a possible outcome or understanding a this poem "should" lead me to belive that you're saying that Metal has been molded into you. Ex: a sword, nails--the causal factor of pain also molding into a walking stick, etc.?

This is a nice poem.. I read your bio and It's a good thing to be firm in your faith. I mean gosh some people are just so cruel!

... *stunned silence, then stands and bursts into raucous applause* brilliant! this one... it's absolutely amazing in how you've brougt out the meaning of an object and somehow in doing so infused even more. everything about this is just... astounding. bravo.

QUITE BEAUTIFUL...I LOVE THE PHRASE " METAL WILL NEER MEAN MORE." IT SHOWS SUCH CONVICTION.

I really liked it. Again, great poem. God Bless!

Great symbolism once again. It makes you really appreciate what Jesus did for us. Moving piece.

Awesome...Awespiring, Awe...you get the picture? I wish I could wear my cross more but some people in my church find wearing a cross blaphemous...don't know why but hey, don't stir the water.

Wow, that's deep. I'll never wear my cross again and forget what it really means.
God Bless

Wow. Wonderfully powerful. Your poetry always inspires me to write poetry. It's beautiful.

I... I am humbled by the sincerity of the reviews you left my for my haikus. Thank you so much; they meant a lot to me.
I was even doubly humbled when I read your profile. It was a shock to learn not only of your faith, but of your incredible steadfastness in it. Lately I feel as if I've grown apart from the Father. But just visiting your BIO made me feel so much stronger spiritually.
Thank you.

...
I...I'm not Christian, but I must say, I am strongly moved by this. Your power in simple majesty transcends most I've ever read...

wow im speechless!
You have an amazing talent, which couples so well with your talent!
Love it!
Yours in randomness!
