My World Will Endure

                                    Though I have heard the world crying
                                              walking soil sown unpure,
                                           I have seen through all crisis
                                               that my world will endure.

                                           It has known wars and famine
                                                seen its innocence lost.....
                                            It has suffered great sadness
                                                 It has counted the cost.

                                             My world sleeps in adversity
                                                My world toils in its pain,
                                         But my world shows the courage
                                              just as God shows the rain.

                                                So i doubt not the future
                                           though the winds blow unsure
                                              I have faith in the knowing
                                               that my world will endure.

Let us hope so you wrote about a lot of faith something many of us are losing one minor suggestion when speaking of oneself us an upper case I may just be a typo I find myself doing the same Chrys

Hi James !

Nice writing with a great rhythm ! On the poetry I don't beleive it is faith that this earth will endure it just is and will :) I think faith comes in with humans. Do you have faith in humans? It's where I start to lose it as it seeems faith is a choice. Thanks, Mark

Hi James..

Welcome to Neopoet.. I have to agree with Mark.. nice rhythm. I don't think the faith part came through in your write.. faith that the earth will still be here even after we are not.. maybe. if your faith in God and humanity's survival were what you were trying to get across you may consider another verse.. just the opinion of one old man... keep writing.. I will go back and read the other poems you have submitted.. Richard
