Scared

I'm not sure about this one. I'm trying to get it to say something but I'm not sure I've done it. All honest critique is welcome. You can even tell me it should be deleted.



He was a scared, scared man, who
never learned to say “I can.”
He would always wildly rant
“you ought to know that I can’t.”

He should have known that he could.
If he wanted to, he would.
Failure seemed to rule his life
as he avoided the strife

He finally took time to pray
and read his Bible every day.
It soon meant a lot to him
and gave his life extra vim

God helped him to rearrange
to make the “scared” letters change.
When he saw what they said
the “scared” had become “sacred”.

There are many who don't believe in themselves. This poem speaks to them. Finding God will always lead you on the right path and life becomes sacred not scared. Well said, Larry.

This is wonderful, to lead a soul to God to feel his self worth is a wonderful thing to do....

Be safe,

Larry-
Don't you dear, change a thing, well it's your poem and IF you feel it necessary, Ok
but, I loved your how you got your message out there!
Negative can be turned around as a positive (the words-the feelings)
Reading the bible recharges your spiritualness I find, but daily I don't find that kind of time.
Sacred is positive, and Scared is a negative! AS Faith follows!
Good going! Glad it was shared to you!

When we learn to place our trust in God all things are possible.

I, too, like this one, very much. Scared into sacred: never thought about that before. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This is good inspiration. - Nothing is impossible if we set our hearts and minds to it. Faith heals all wounds.

I like how you have re-arranged the word "scared" into "sacred". One only needs to turn the words "scared" around to turn one's life around. It makes a lot of sense!!!
