What Grace Means to Me

[Jeania Vaughan]

I love it. It gives you the inner peace that so many us struggle with. It helps you to remember life doesn't have to be as hard as you make it to be.

[Anthony D Dawkins]

This is a very thoughtful poem. Followed by a very thoughtful picture.

What a great poem, very clear and easy to understand. It showcased an intelligent play with 'assumed' opposites and elicits deep reflection for the reader.
Great work.

[Lungile MYENI]

I love this poem. I can relate to some lines. ''To be stubbornly decisive and self-determined, but accepting that of which you cannot control.''

This is a really deep poem and I like how it explains to do things for yourself but also to set boundaries for those things you do. Really nice!

This piece left me reflecting deeply.
What struck me most was the contrast in each line, like "To be motivated, but not greedy" and "To be inspired, but not restless." It made me think about my own life and how often I struggle with finding that middle ground. Sometimes I’m too hard on myself, mistaking laziness for rest, or too forgiving, blurring the line between kindness and naivety.
That line about choosing to turn your life around before hitting rock bottom really resonated with me. It’s such a powerful reminder that grace isn’t just about how we act, but how we decide to live.

[Anthony D Dawkins]

The freedom to choose is very powerful.

[Wamboi Susan]

A masterpiece! i enjoyed it.
"To love and forgive unconditionally, but only trust intelligently."

[Anna Sudheesh]

Wow! I'm no pro, but I believe it's truly inspiring to witness the power of words through great writers like you... Here, you've impeccably delivered the constant need for balance in humanity as you define grace... too much or too little of anything can cause harm which I think is what makes us humans imperfect, of course in a beautifully perfectly natural manner, and that is also exactly what strives us to move forward and find purpose! Thank you for this poem <3

To set boundaries without crossing boundaries. Settings limitations in everything you do.
