When I needed money,
He provided me with a job.
When I wanted to waste money,
He provided me with expenses.
When I was tempted,
He provided me with strength.
When those temptations became strong,
He allowed me to stay at home.
When I prayed for the strength to forgive,
He gave me a front seat view on the evils of revenge
Yet with all this I still did not act
or follow all that was commanded of me
God gave me a chance to gain forgiveness and mercy
and He still keeps giving me opportunity
For God loves me.

Did you write this?

Aw'h :]
#' It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain...
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain '#
Thanks everyone - I had no idea how it would be received.
I was to add that the words are talking about real events and scenarios - not made up with phony events or anything, but real life stuff. (I often find the use of made up events in such things to feel dishonest to me.)
I be evil. wooo...
Oh...
I just gotta make sure my Performance matches my Ambitions. Now, how do I do that?
1. Where did you get the idea to write a poem?
2. How long did it take to write?
I liked it
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

erm... I was going to write something but this popped up into my head. and like 2 mins I guess.
It wasn't meant to be a poem initially, but then I thought it had a rhyme, broke the lines up and it was there. just had to make a change or two.
In my defence, I was in a good mood.
I be evil. wooo...
