Defeat the Suffering

Listen to your heart listen to your soul take another chance not dig another hole Not a countless Victim Not the vultures Prey open up your mind take another way You can always make it take a stand and try not just sit there thinking it will make you cry Take a leap of faith Run into His lands God is always waiting to take you by the hand Now is your time clear all of your denial be glad He's here for you Grab a hold and smile by: Virginia Frayer

Good descriptiveness is delivered in simple and easy to read wording. Your rhyming is quite good as well. With your second line of the fourth verse, "his" needs a capital H. The same goes for "he's" in the third line of your fifth verse. All pronouns in reference to The Almighty have to begin with capital letters. Also, thank you for commenting on "No Wacky Weed". That submission has not garnered much attention.

I keep taking leaps of faith and ending up in a hole, Virginia. This is a very meaningful poem for me. Thank you for stopping by my work. Best wishes, Carolyn
