More Than The World (Free verse) by XOXScottishgrlXOX

I love You more than anything on Earth I have hope and faith in You Because of You Lord I am alive I was put here for a purpose Life will lead me to many places Some will be good and some bad I love You more than the world Everyone has their own problems But because of You Ican get through them No matter what comes my way You are with me You teach me lessons when I have done wrong When I am down I know I can come to You Even though some people don't believe You still love them I love You more than the world

Consider who is using it in common language. Recent immigrants, my friend, recent immigrants. Is that really the face you want to show the world?

"We all got our problems" is grammatically correct, if not exactly right for the present situation. Most half-educated people I know also habitually say "Everyone has his own problems" or "We all have problems". Which are easier and just as clear, if anything.

I agree with your point that "Everyone has their own problems" would be a perfectly fine thing to include in a poem written, say, in the voice of a hillbilly.
