Time=Wisdom

At times I thought you were the one.
I thought I could depend on you.
But time has showed me through the years;
the only one I can depend on
is Christ, the One to
wipe away all my tears.

Maybe, it's my fault,
I tend to fall quite fast.
Not thinking about tomorrow,
hoping that all my "forevers" last.

Time is but a walking shadow
who passes those unprepared.
Giving shelter to the weak,
and straighting those who care.

    I like this testimony of your faith. You are not ashamed to put it out there for all to see.
    I like left justified on free verse. But that is just my thoughts. I belong to a free verse group and we mostly left justify our work. I'm impressed with your work and hope to see more of it. I haven't been on this site much but will be from now on hoping to see and read what you have written..

    It is nice. Has a good tone and flow to it. A few grammar issues, but then again I ignore them sometimes too. The subject is clear, but it seems to get off a bit. Not always on one topic. The title is off with the contents to me too.

    I see you are very religious as well, proud too. I like it when people share what they believe in and all.

    well done,
    Ashley
