When

when the will becomes weak 
and you find it hard to speak
when the spirit becomes dry
and your heart can not fly
when the world has you down
and you can't help but frown
when you can't raise your head
and you just wish you were dead
when all hope has faded away
and negativity seems to be there to stay
fall upon your knees
surrender to God and ask forgive me please

This is the second christain themed poem I commented on today, that makes two since I've been here. I really like the scene set. Good work. I am late on this comment and hope you are still writing. Great work.
