Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Religion

The Good Life I lived each day my whole life through The way my church had told me to. I followed every rule they gave Convinced that what they said would save My soul.

Children Clinging to a Father they must grow to understand Holding, when life's troubles come, so tightly to His hand.
