I think this poem is well written. It's about the inevitable balance that individuals need in order to live a happy life. With too little of a certain quality, people would fall short; with too much of another quality, they'd be overpowering. Life is about balance, and figuring out how everything fits into place is the ultimate test. Nice job.

This poem was confusing and intriguing while drawing me in to read the next line. Although it does represent balance, it also represents disaster. Kinda like to be one thing without being the whole thing or having add-ons. I love the poem as it represents what being human actually is.

"What Grace Means to Me" is a short poem that beautifully captures the essence of God's grace. In just five stanzas, Hughes manages to convey the depth and breadth of God's love, forgiveness, and mercy.

The poem begins by describing grace as a gift, something that we do not deserve but is freely given to us. This is a powerful reminder of the unconditional love that God has for us. We are not perfect, but God loves us anyway.

The second stanza speaks of grace as a choice. We can choose to accept God's love and forgiveness, or we can choose to reject it. When we choose to accept God's grace, we are choosing to live in love and forgiveness. This is a choice that we must make each and every day.

The third stanza describes grace as a journey. It is not a destination that we reach once and for all. It is a lifelong process of growing in our understanding of God's love and forgiveness. This journey is not always easy, but it is one that is worth taking.

The fourth stanza speaks of grace as a mystery. We cannot fully understand how God's grace works, but we can experience it in our lives. We can see it in the love of our family and friends, and in the beauty of the world around us. Even though we may not fully understand it, we can still be grateful for God's grace.

The fifth and final stanza describes grace as a miracle. It is the power of God at work in our lives. It is the hope of salvation and the promise of eternity. Grace is a powerful force that can change our lives in amazing ways.

"What Grace Means to Me" is a beautiful and moving poem that is sure to touch the hearts of all who read it. It is a reminder of the power of God's grace and the hope that it brings to our lives.

The poem is full of imagery that helps the reader to visualize God's grace.
The poem is emotionally evocative and leaves the reader feeling uplifted and hopeful.
Overall, "What Grace Means to Me" is a well-written and inspiring poem that is sure to be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

"what Grace means to me"
A calm piece of writing that get's you thinking about the choices we make and how we live.
I like how it does not attack any specific personalities yet makes one think about the way they live and makes us appreciate the love we've been given by God.

Very educative and encouraging words ...To choose to make where you are now your personal rock bottom before hitting actual rock bottom.
