Notes About The Poem

Bigger Than Myself

I make no claim to a bible thumper
                            But I'm quite spiritual
                   And I believe in a higher power
                  It'd be foolish for me to assume
                        That I persevere through...
                      Life's trials and tribulations
                                     By myself
                       I believe in a higher power
                Which is God; the reason the devil 
                          Can't reach or touch me
                          Every time I trip and fall
               Unable to stand on my own two feet
              God is always there to lift me upright
                             I seek refuge in him
               For he's omnipotent and all-knowing
                           The creator of my soul
                 God is infinitely bigger than myself
                          God is the reason I exist
                        Because I have faith in him
                            Everything is possible
