This life I have on earth is but a breath. It's a journey. And when I think about a journey I think of excitement, thrill, and adventure. I intend on taking this journey on its fullest extent. God has given me the gift of being able to journey this far and I want to complete the path He has set me on. I really do not know where I'm going but my hope is in Christ with whom I can do all things. And whatever excitement comes my way, whatever thrills lie around the bend and whatever adventures are in store are nothing in comparison to the hope I have in Christ Jesus. So I set my eyes on the prize and I run after it with perseverance and faithfulness so that when I cross that finish line, I can hear the words I long to hear..."well done, good and faithful servant."
I’ve tried to walk the straight and narrow
I’ve stumbled along the way
The obstacles have been difficult
Though I walk in the light of day
The presence of God surrounds me
Though evil lurks close behind
His love still pushes me onward
In my race to the finish line
I know that this life of freedom
Has led to a life of sin
But I had the will to change it
Allowing my Savior in
The finish line grows closer
I see it with my own eyes
My tired legs grow weaker
Though I long to claim my prize
My heart will be filled with pleasure
When I finally cross that line
Though I will endure some hardships
The reward will one day be mine
When I enter the gates of Heaven
The Father will say simply “well done”
And when the journey is over

Very nice flow. I personally wouldn't have attempted the poetry thing because the whole thing is a little beyond me but when i read yours I felt that it could have possibly been the best poem i have ever read. So it isn't saying a lot but at least it is something. You can tell I have literate rhythm from the awesome flow of this comment. In all seriousness though. You need to write more.
