When the road seems long,
Where do you find the strength to carry on?
When troubles don t go away,
How do you endure everyday?
There is no need for you to fear.
The answer you seek is near.
If you look inside your heart,
There is a love that will not depart.
When you feel like hope is gone,
Look inside you and be strong.
You can cast your cares aside
And you will do more than survive.
There is a hero inside of you,
Helping with all you must do.
God is your hero to see you through
And he dwells inside of you.
When you need him the most,
God fills you with the Holy Ghost.
The hero always comes along
With the strength to carry on.

thanks for entering another poem.

just saw your discussion; we capitalize proper names, but do we capitalize pronouns referring to ourselves? I do see your point though; that is how it is often written.
-
I wont get into a debate, its per your desire, although, it is a respect factor. Just like we capitalize our own names, when referring to Him it is respectful to do the same, athough its not a requirement. Just a suggestion.
Good day. -
I disagree. That is something only done on some translations of the Bible.
-
Only thing, When you are referring to God you should capitalize He.
I liked this a lot though, I am sure that Elise will like it too!!! THANK YOU!
