I AM

Its more priceless than gold
, a fragile commodity from ages of old.
Its used as a weapon,sometimes as a ruse
More often than not,its often abused.

To some its an idea, a tangible abstract.
We want it in our faith,so we take a leap and act.
We give it to others who prove thier faith,hope and love
A sign from our God,as were blessed from above.

But once burned its quite a sting
,it really hits its mark and scars everything
So when you feel broken beyond all doubt
ask guidance from God,it will all work out

We wave it as a flag,red,white and blue.
as a symbol to others its tried and true.
See it on our money,or hear people say.
but its better to show it in all our ways.

Its part of our country,strong as can be
Showing a strength leaders can see.
It can not be bought,bribed or learned
It is just like respect,it has to be earned.

So as a principle,trait or a quality its a must
A person with this character,is one you can ...TRUST

I love the words you use to depict trust..."more precious than gold, often abused, cannot be bought or bribed but earned." Great lines and so true. I noticed a few spelling errors (thier for their) and did you mean "as we're blessed from above? It's a good idea to do a spell check before submission; the best of writers inadvertently misspells or mistypes.

One of the best ways to grow in your poetry pursuits can be found on Faithwriters with Jan's lessons on poetry. Here's the link I think :-): http://www.faithwriters.com/Boards/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=39782#p540965 Also, one of my all-time favorite Faithwriter poets was Kenn Allan. He passed away, but his poetry is on the internet. The site is absolutely inspiring and a gold mine for poetry writers who desire to hone their skills. Many blessings. poetrhttp://kennallan.com/y

I like the seeming ease that the rhyming words came to you. They were the ones that were meant to be there.

I also like the smooth flow of the words and the rhythm.

These qualities don't always come just by practice. Part has to be a gift.

The other area you need to work on as they are learned. Watch for spelling mistakes. Contractions are sometimes killers. (It's = it is) (its means its fur, its shoes, its fingers) Be careful with these.

It seems you have a natural affinity for writing in a poetic style. Keep it up. This piece is a very worthy read just because of the meaning in it.
