When I'm trapped in a web of fear, I count my blessings tear by tear. And though I must choose fight or flight; God's love is my staff and my light. When I'm struggling to find my way, no one hears what I have to say. And yet, like a bird, hope takes flight, God's love is my staff and my light. When life's road gets bumpy and dark, my prospects suddenly look stark. And though nothing seems to go right, God's love is my staff and my light. When lost within a maze of hate, my heart cries out for a soulmate. And yet, there's hope to ease its plight; God's love is my staff and my light. When I feel I am all alone, loneliness is a crushing stone. And though there's not a smile in sight, God's love is my staff and my light. When the weight of years strains my back, my bones feel they're about to crack. And yet, I kneel to pray each night; God's love is my staff and my light.

I love the way your poem flows dear emile, you are an expert in these forms, and im inspired to try this form after reading how heartfelt and well woven this poem is, i love the refrain too, is so stunning. Such a brilliant write and i especially love the lines "When I feel I am all alone, loneliness is a crushing stone." how evocative, and touching! "When life's road gets bumpy and dark, my prospects suddenly look stark." your rhymes are so sublime! And catchy! Best wishes always
