Rock

Shinerra Ward 1975 (Tennessee)

Remember
When life get hard lean on the rock.
When u feel like giving up
Lean on the rock.
It can bring u joy that can't be stopped.
When life throw u into turmoil
Lean on the rock. If u feeling unloved
Lean on the rock.
When times become unbearable
Lean on the rock.
When people cut u down
Lean on the rock.
When your sunny days r rainy
Lean on the rock.
If u ever tumble
Lean ton the rock
Cuz God has u.
He's your rock of life

    Wow, what a powerful and uplifting poem about leaning on the rock of God during tough times! The imagery of the rock as a symbol of strength and stability is so impactful. The message of finding joy and love in God during hardships is truly inspiring.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to vary the structure of the poem a bit to add some depth and complexity. Perhaps incorporating different poetic devices like metaphors, similes, or symbolism could enhance the overall impact of the poem. Additionally, working on the flow and rhythm of the lines could help elevate the emotional resonance of the message.

    Overall, this poem delivers a heartfelt message of hope and perseverance in times of struggle. Keep writing and exploring different ways to express your thoughts and emotions through poetry. Great job!
