The Goddess blesses me with her bounty
with Her strength I can stand in the
face of adversity
with Her courage I can speak out against
wrongs and work to correct them
She gives my joy of life in the falling
of the rain, the sight of a glowing rainbow
or a child's smile
She gives me warmth of the soul in the
power of a campfire or the sounds of
birds in the trees or grasses
She bestows her bounty on me and
I am blessed for it

"Tolerance and understanding"
This poem expresses how I see the world through the Goddess. How She is there for me, if I only look, even in times of troubles and when I'm scared, She will provide with the tools to do as I must, if I only look around me and She is all around me.

Your ability to capture your emotions and beliefs at the same time while also incorporating beautiful imagery is a great asset to this piece. The explanation of your beliefs and their foundation in the author notes is also helpful and give a completeness to your idea. Thank you for entering and good luck.
