Bible, notebook, pen and vigorous mind
These are the things that really shine
A Savior of love
My Savior above
These are the things that I`m proud of
Not a spoiled nor ruined or not dare trashed heart
Is inside of me because God cleansed me
Oh these are the things of God`s beautiful art
Unstable, uneven
Jagged, pointed, sharp
Is the mind of Satan
The evil fallen angel
Though his words may seem as soothing as melodious harp
Exquisite Savior
Breathtaking God
Overwhelming Spirit
You are not a fraud
Oh, these are the things that get me desperate
Because I know that the little kids-
This faith, they do not inherit
So live it
Keep it your favorite

The author's comments:

I have been having a hard time asking God to help me with my everyday activities, but when I look around, He is our only hope. I need to stop treating Him like an "extra", and start understanding that I am blessed and free from sin. I should act like it.

Thank you, but I am a developed writer, and this is one of my many complete rhythms. I love the rhyming and words I chose, but hey, like you said, everyone has their own opinions, right?

Personally, I don't really like this poem. It's not so much the subject as the style. I think you could improve in rhyming and word choice. You have a good start here, but it's just not that good yet. I do think you can be very good at writing, though.
