Baptism




My steps bear me to water’s side
to learn what has been locked inside;
to search my soul and hope to find
a self who is both strong and kind.  

The cool clear waters cleanse my heart
and give me one more chance to start;
to choose the path that leads to grace
and make this world a better place.

    A good write and interpretation of the picture prompt. Heartfelt. Very good execution of iambic tetrameter. Good flow, rhyme and tone. Nice imagery. Lovely depth of feeling. Good word choice, alliteration and nice assonance. Word count: 60 words. Thank you for your entry.
