Religion

Post by Squirl_1958 »

I know that the Lord loves me
He gave up his only son
I be there to meet the bot of them
When my life here is done

I try to meet his level
When I meet every new day
To show love to another
Is the only blessed way

To help each person who does not
Understand the holy life
To assist in dealing with each day
The world's problems and strife

I only wish that one thing
Will be seen with my own eyes
To see the world get better
Would be a great surprise

I think bot in your first stanza is meant to be both?
It is also worth noting there is no I in the third stanza.

Nice poem!

There are some typos that take away from the seriousness and effectiveness of the work, though. The third line has two.

And, as the previous poster commented, all of the stanzas except one begin with "I." You may want to rethink that.

Thanks for posting for all to see! Keep writing!

:)
