Nice sentiment behind it. I like the title.

Great rhyming.

(All your poems have something great and unique about them whether it is the message or the format, and I'd literally sit here all day reviewing if I didn't have soccer practice in ten minutes.)

I have to say I agree with this poem and your author's note, I too believe that people are mostly good although everyone has some sins.

Lovely work.

This is very nice. It just shows we all have flaws but also talent and that sometimes that we judge ourselves too hard, not relizing it's all for a purpose.

This is BEAUTIFUL! I wish I could see myself through Jesus' eyes, but I just can't... I'm very critical about the way I look... This was a lovely poem! Good work...

Very beautiful poem. If only more often we could see through His eyes what He does about us, others, and everything else.

Okay, seriously, just...my goodness, I SWEAR I almost cried.

"Gazed at the fingers labeled wreck/And wrapped them around a guitar’s neck" (Loveloveloved those lines. Reminded me of my brother. :P)

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l message...and..ugh! I feel so frazzled right now. Your poetry does that to me. ;P

Basically, I loved this. Goosebumps, dude. Honestly. This was really powerful.

Keep writing and God bless,

I really do like this one; especially the lines at the end:
Jesus looked at this masterpiece

And saw that it was good

And he hoped maybe after this

His Children also would

It was a really moving poem and one of my favorites too.
Keep up the great work!!

God bless,

Beautiful. The message is an important one and you portrayed it clearly. The flow works really well for this piece and you did an excellent job!
I especially loved "Jesus looked at this masterpiece

And saw that it was good

And he hoped maybe after this

His Children also would"

Very moving poem! =)
-After I saw that you had the most reviews for this piece, I just had to add another. ;)

I pretty much adore this. I just totally love it... it almost made me cry.

This is a beautiful poem, and the rhyming has a natural flow to it. Its got a nice feel-good style to it, I think it would make a great song. I like the references to the guitar and the portarait, and the attention to tiny details like the lengths of fingers. People tend to be worried about things no one else even really notices. Keep writing!

I'm not particularly religious, but I do love the message here. Too often people are so obsessed with the aspects of themselves that they have deemed "flawed" when really they are just blind to their many amazing qualities. Awesome piece, I love it!

Even though the description is a made up person--you gave an overall image that everyone could relate to.

Yet I couldn't help seeing a young guitar player who didn't know he was a shining example of God's grace and mercy, until the One Who Loves Us gently changed him.

My favorite lines:

Lopsided smile, fingers too long...

Smiled back at that crooked smile, and then

Added one big dimple at the end

Aw, I like this one! ^_^ Great job!

This was even more beautiful than the first I read! I never think myself a beautiful masterpiece, but now I know that Jesus does!

Very beautiful and so powerful. I really loved the ending. Keep up the excellent work!
