Hurt,Pain,and Pride.

These feeling of love, hurt, pain, and pride.
Not easily unveiled,
they stay locked up inside.

For few of those
who would truly understand,
the lost and lonely feeling
of a desperate man..

Life's peripheral vision
is slowly narrowing down,
the light at the end of the tunnel,
is not easily found.

Gods word love thy neighbor,
seems a thing of the past,
people prefer power and money
and they want it fast.

Some would even give up there brother,
as a sacrifice,even though they are guilty
they would rather someone else pay the price..

In marriage we vow until death do us part
few live up to there promise,
not caring from the heart..

The more we give,
the more people take,
leaving no crumbs
cause they want the whole cake.

Does love not show strength
when we reach out and care?
No I'll not give up trying
for as long as I breath.

Even though this world
is dying of the hatred it breeds.
Through all life's hurt, pain and strife.

I simply picture,
the face of Jesus,
my lord and savior
and I find I can smile.

Good poem

I liked the flow, the story and the heartfelt sentiment in it. The line they would rather someone else pay the price.. might be worth looking at again , I felt the rather someone was a bit long in the sentance and maybe the point could be made with fewer words. Just my opinion as I read it . Thanks for sharing Seabhac
