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

"Of course, "We've all got our own problems" is more correct than either of the two, and has the advantage of being personal, which is a good thing to be when you're praying to God. I don't understand why you don't just say that."

I did say that! In my first comment.

"But it's the context that makes the grammatical error unacceptable. Prayers should be formal and perfect. So in this poem fix it but in another you may not need to."

The making it a personal statement part is a bonus but the poem could survive without it. But as you see I stated from the start that the line was informal and inexcusable for this poem. I only said "everyone has their own problems" would be clearer not that using it makes everthing all better. I think it's ok to use his when it's likely to be only a him or hims.

Feminist professors? I prefer feminist professettes.
That's a joke for ya.

Most of your jokes I get and laugh my ass off to. You must have played this one too deadpan or maybe I was just messin' with ya. I forget it's been so long ago.

On a side note, I'll try to grant your wish for you some day.

Keep rubbing the lamp.
