In This Life

                                                        In this life, I have ventured.
                                                          All my life,I have gained
                                                       all the knowledge for living
                                                       with My faith still ingrained.

                                                      My whole life,I have doubted.
                                                      while at times,I have feared.
                                                           In My life,I have cried..
                                                     laughed,and then persevered.

                                                     In our lives,We have struggled.
                                                         And like I,We have failed.
                                                         In My life,I have faltered....
                                                    though My world still prevailed.

                                                     But in My times,I have LOVED.
                                                      witnessed Heaven and Hell.
                                                   In My journeys,I have triumphed.
                                                       In this life,I have lived well.

The poem is excellent the only problem I am having with it is the continuous repetition of in this life it becomes redundant other than that it is well written Chrys
