Dear Ruwth,

I don't know if I've ever read a poem from you before. It struck me smack dab in the middle of the forehead when I saw that it had earned a prize in the Shadows and Light Poetry contest. Good for you.

The title was immediately recognizable, Jesus Loves Me, and this offering was sooooo Ruwth. *Laugh* While this surprised me, the content did not. I know of your strong faith and many items written about your father. I can feel that somewhat bittersweet connection depicted in your words. You use a progression of time in the poem to show the roots of your religion, where it started with that song that inspired the title. The song I know all to well as a baby boomer.

This poem goes on a journey for the reader viewing Ruwth with family: church to church, and song to song that ends with "Amazing Grace" which is really about the sweet appreciation of a blessed life of what we've been given. Appropriate to end with.

I believe this is definitely auto-biographical with this use of the freeverse approach to a poem. You did a good job keeping the lines tight and informed while keeping a nice flow for a reader that was easy to understand and relatable.

Thanks for the invitation in the WDC chatroom we call 'Scroll' to come and check out your writing to lend a review today. Congratulations again on the poem's recognition and your blessed life. How Great Thou Art!
