I've never seen an angel's toe
laced in golden thong.

But I have seen the devil's hand
in every deed that's wrong.

Where is the harp, the flute, and fife
to play me through this silent life?

If only God would breathe in me
a deeper faith to set me free,

I'd drop my burdens gratefully
and walk the shores I cannot see.

Hi Kimi, Karen, and Snow -

Thank you all for your positive comments. I really like Karen's suggestion and will use it. Thank you Karen! Since it's just one word I'm only going to revise the original poem rather than place a complete revison above. I hope that's acceptable, if not let me know.

Robin

Yes that's perfectly acceptable, Robin - no need for a complete rewrite. You could always write the original line you've changed underneath, so that people know what it was before the change.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
