How Hard I Have Tried

How Hard I Have Tried To help others, how hard I have tried Knowing that me God is deep inside Always there with a comforting thought Helped me when tears back I had fought. God will help me here, there every where With of His courage and great care Available there to assist me in any way Forever in my soul surely does stay. Do believe in God knowing that he will Dreams, wants and desires always fulfil And others He said I must try to satisfy Surely and not letting them pass me by. Personally accepted God and each one Also including Christ who is His Son And Holy Ghost as great as it may be Who I can only feel and never, ever see. With those Three my life is complete One day with Them on judgement seat Together they all shall be my friend And safely into heaven did let me in. James Serious Mysterious Horn Retired Veteran and Poet

I see you have done a rhyming couplet, i.e., every 2 lines in each verse rhyme. Although I don't see a consistent meter here, though maybe this is intentional. As I am not well-versed in couplet, and regardless of the rules, I get the message here which to me says that if we have faith in God, He will carry us through this life, in every pain or joy, esp. if we try hard to help others.

JC, Kind of Iambic Tetrameter. God puts these thoughts into my mind and this is how it all comes out. How did you ever find my poem? Jim Horn or Diego Cuerno de Vaca.
