Now I have seen the mistake I have made
Never will i do them again

Now is the time for praise and worship
Never will I stop praising him

Now is the time to surrender to Jesus Christ
Never will I regret giving him my life

Now the devil is trying to distract me
Never will I give into his tricks

Now is the time for prayer
Never will I stop seeking his face

Now people are drinking,smoking, and partying all night
Never will I stop reaching out to them

Never will I stop believing in what you can do you are able to do all things good for you are an awesome God

Now is the time and
Never will I delay
In telling them Jesus is the way
It's Now not Never!

The author's comments:
Now a days teens or committing suicide because they are lost and don't know how to find their way back because they're in so deep in a mess they can't get out of... I wrote this poem for teens to understand that there's a God who loves them and will forgive them for their mistakes. God sent his one and ONLY son to die for our sins on the cross.

I'm sorry. You're a brilliant poet, I love your writing, but I found this poem incredibly bland and unremarkable. The message is really my favorite part of the poem. It's a decent poem, but it needs work. :)

Great job (: I wish it rhymed more, but it made the rhyming at the end really stand out! This poem is very honest. I like it!
