After reading this poem I have so many thoughts in my mind. Love someone and appreciate without jealousy is so rare in our society. The way you think I love that. To love and forgive unconditionally, but only trust intelligently. To be assertive, but not aggressive. To be motivated, but not greedy. Your poems every line has a motivational meaning. I love the way you think and express yourself. I was deeply motivated by this poem. I would like to recommend this poem to my close friends and people.

One of the most motivated and meaning full poem I have read so far.

[Muhammed Kudirat]

It's a very sensitive and important combination of true life tale

[Anurag Kushwaha 1]

This poem, balanced and deliberate life has to be lived between assurance and humility, between strength and compassion, between ambition and fulfillment. A purpose beyond the present moment augurs itself with mindful living and self-awareness, peace-promoting yet not free from the all too human flaw of error: mindful decisions made before the breaking point where things can no longer be with holden.

[Chibuike Amadi]

What a great piece of poetry, it creates a picture of Grace as a good moderate lifestyle not attaching any sort of spiritual meaning to it, or behaving wrong all in the process of exercising your fundamental rights.

"What Grace Means to Me" by Scott Hughes is a thought-provoking poem that explains to us the concept of grace and its significance in one's life. We should live a graceful life with self respect and undaunting spirit .We should have courage to face the challenges of life with courage without compromising over self respect . With grace we live a Royal life while leaving grace bring us to a shameful status.

This piece of art represented in form of a poem clearly shows and educates human kind that life is strictly based on the principle of survive. There is no need of inflicting pain on our selves by trying to gather beyond even that we can use.

[bana al barq]

his poem is an introspective and thought-provoking exploration of balance, resilience, and self-awareness. It weaves together ideals of strength and humility, courage and caution, and peace and persistence. The structure of the poem, with its rhythmic repetition of “to be” and “to do,” lends a meditative and almost mantra-like quality that reinforces its philosophical undertones. It challenges the reader to reflect deeply on their values and actions, while offering a blueprint for navigating life’s complexities with grace and integrity.

One of the poem’s greatest strengths lies in its exploration of dualities. It presents an elegant tension between opposing forces—confidence without arrogance, bravery without fearlessness, contentment without complacency. This duality feels authentic and relatable, as it acknowledges the imperfections and contradictions inherent in the human experience. The poet does not seek perfection but rather a harmony that allows for flaws, growth, and understanding.

The language is clear and impactful. The repetition of contrasting ideas creates a strong rhythm, drawing the reader into a reflective state. For example, the lines “To be content, but not dead. To live as a mortal human, without becoming only human” convey profound ideas about living fully while transcending superficial limitations. These juxtapositions are both poetic and philosophical, blending emotional depth with intellectual rigor.

However, the poem’s didactic tone could feel a bit heavy-handed for some readers. The numerous contrasts, while powerful, risk becoming repetitive or overwhelming as the poem progresses. A few lines, such as “To do, without trying,” while intriguing, could benefit from more clarity or elaboration to ground their meaning.

Another strength is its universal appeal. The poem offers guidance without prescribing specific paths, making it accessible to people of various backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. It strikes a careful balance between personal reflection and universal wisdom, ensuring that each reader can find their own meaning within its lines.

In conclusion, this poem is an eloquent and deeply meaningful meditation on living with integrity, courage, and inner peace. While a few areas could benefit from greater brevity or refinement, its themes and structure effectively engage the reader, offering valuable insights for self-improvement and mindfulness. This is a piece that deserves re-reading and contemplation, as it reveals new layers with each encounter.

[Aria Gougouli]

This poem describes grace and the human nature in its most innocent and calm form it could ever be. It's nice to be reminded that such forms in this world might exist.

Tha language is clear and easy to understand, describing all the flaws of human, and a form of slow living and understanding themselves and anyone without a specific background can feel this poem.

About the tone of the poem it was very deep and it easily got me into it wanting to read it but after a while got overwhelmed by emotion.
