How have I not seen this yet? Lovely poem. I enjoy poems that rhyme, and this one fits the bill. I didn't see any typos, and I like the rhyming scheme as well.

Loved your poem. Oh how true this poem is. Christ is there to pick us up when we are down. You did a great job in describing the feelings of really, really being down in the dumps. Then of course the light at the end of the tunnel from Christ. Great job. LorraineK

Good depiction of faith. This poem has a definite feel of hope and redemption.

My only suggestion is to ditch the quotation marks around "He". The capitalization already singles it out and I got a sense of overkill with the quotation marks.

Other than that, I enjoyed this inspirational poem.

My very best grade for this excellent poetic effort, in praise of the power who helps you when you are weary. I envy those with such faith. 'Don't give up, I will help you to stand.' Fascinating reading.

The feelings that this writing brought to me filled my eyes with tears. Which one of us has not walked this lonely road until YES, THE SMALL VOICE WHISPERS. I only pray that we all hear it!

Great writing with truth and intensity!

Lovely poem - sentiments I believe many of us share...too often.

The third sentence seems to break the cadence a bit - perhaps removing the word 'within', but that is certainly your call.

All in all, a moment of fear we all face at one time or another.

A beautiful poem, and the only quibble I have with it is that the meter slips oh-so-much on the third and eighth lines. You have a wonderful sing-song quality (which any metrical poem will have, and it's a good thing) that hooked me in and carried me along...it just hit a couple of bumps on the way.

Still...a good write. :)

    Thank you Joy for your review and comments. You don't know how many times I have hauled out this poem and re-read it to give me a boost when I have been down.
