Have a little Faith

This is what is in my heart... this is what came out tonight.

If an angel came down to set you free 

Would you be thankful or too blind to see?

If happiness was just a mile away

Would you take the journey or walk away?

Life is full of choices and mistakes

How we bounce back defines our fate

No one person has ever been perfect

We are forgiven for being imperfect

If an angel promised eternal bliss

Would you take the offer or dismiss?

With life comes millions of choices 

Learn to separate the good from bad voices

If I told you I know the truth 

Would you believe me or demand proof?

If a book could provide you with pure clarity

Would you read that book with regularity?

Well the truth is you no longer have to look

For the truth is the Bible is that book

If you really want to understand the truth

Open your heart and allow God to guide you

Just have a little faith

I love it. I think of it as a Unicorn around the corner and I just have to keep walking and I can see it. I would also say choice instead of choices though for the rhythm. :) Thanks and great work

"Life is full of choices and mistakes"
One line sums it up.
Thank U for the "faith" :)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much for the review :)

This was very heartfelt and hopeful. So many words of wisdom. The flow of the poem is good and the rhymes as well. However, I do think the fifth stanza is a little off with the rhyming scheme in comparison to all other stanzas with lines perfectly rhyming.

[AaronFreitas]

Thanks for the review.... yeah it was tough to try and say what I wanted to say and stay with the flow and rhyme scheme... I did the best I could with the patience I had lol...

Great great write aaron, our trials and tribulations shape us as the people we are. We cannot ask the high road from god just to sail through life, as we would gain nothing from life and it would be as good as not living. You've done a mighty job on this write, the message is wonderful and your words clear and thought-provoking. cheers

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much Roshan!

Gosh Aaron, this poem really made my day!
I just simply love it and don't have words to describe the beautiful that this poem is.
Just have a little faith and let God do the work, because he loves us and we love him.
Man, this is truely awesome!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you for your kind words Lizardo. Sometimes people lose track in life and get lost and forget the most important person in life that helps us through it all :)

[Lizardo]

Exactly! :)

[GreenEyedPoet]

Beautifully written, and it's about one of my favorite topics - God. :)

Life can be complicated, but trust in God and you'll be alright :)

Thank you Cool Girl! Yes... you have no idea how many times I have needed His help and he has helped me through things :) thanks for the review

[Cool Girl]

You're very welcome! Yes, God is very kind and helpful :)

[AaronFreitas]

Yes He is... never forget that :)

[Cool Girl]

I promise I won't :)

Though it seems obvious in the first and third para that our choice would be the former, life doesn't lend the choices in a way as simple as that. And all it demands is our faith and wit to do the right decisions.You have beautifully elucidated that in the 2nd para (y)

[AaronFreitas]

Oh how life doesn't make choices as simple as that.... if it was that easy I wouldn't be a writer lol :)
