The reason why one of Bradstreet's poems impressed me

Anne Bradstreet's poem "Upon the Burning of my House" impressed me the most out of all 3. This is because she loses everything, all of her possessions but yet she knows everything will be okay. In the beginning she seems sad that she has lost everything, but in the end she knows everything will be okay. She gets to a point where she gives it all to God and she knows he will be there for her. He wont let her go without anything, everything has a reason, bad or good. She makes alot of biblical references in this poem. In line 14 she says ' I blest his name who gave and took', well Job 1:21 says: 'Naked i came from my mother's womb and naked i will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away may the name of the Lord be praised.' She makes it known that everything she h ad, she had because of the Grace of God, and if he decides to take that away from her it is okay because he is the one who provided it for her. The next biblical reference which impressed me was the last line (line 54) which says 'My hope and Treasure lies Above.' Luke 12:34 states 'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' This is saying that all her Treasures lie in Heaven with the Lord for that is where her heart is. That is why i liked this poem the best.
