We came to Earth a long time ago.
He sent us here for something.
He is testing us
To see what paths we will choose.
Right and wrong are big
But he also looks at the little ones.
Do we help and care for others?
What is truly in our hearts?
We have many choices to make.
Some are harder than others
And many are extremely important;
Like who will we marry?
The decisions to make
Are all our own.
We will make mistakes
And learn some lessons.
But you need to remember one thing.
God is here always.
He is in your hearts,
And dwells in happiness and joy.
When you plead with him to save you,
He will only look down and say no.
You have to know
That he cannot mess with free will.
Heavenly Father is here for support.
He helps us go in the right direction,
But only when we ask for help,
And even then, only when we ask in faith.
So seek no way to get out of things in life.
Look for ways to help you through them.
He is always there,
Looking down on us.
Let me tell you something I believe.
God is watching over us.
But in the mean time,
He is also wishing for us to choose the right.
Author notes
"The world will look up and shout, 'Save us.'. And I'll look down and whisper, 'No'."
This is the prompt that I wrote this poem for/from? whatever you want to say. I absolutely love it. I chose to go from the angle that God is only here to help us. He cannot make us choose things. We have to choose them for ourselves and learn from experience. It is part of life. If you believe in God, then know this: He will help you when you ask and when you ask, ask it in faith. He will most definately help you sooner or later in life. I know this to be true from experience - if you don't like this religious view, feel free to DQ this, or don't even listen to what I'm saying here. 
I hope you all understand my viewpoint!

I shall stay clear of the theological aspects of this, but I will say that I do believe you should find a better background b/c it is hard to read your poem with this one

yeah... thanks for the reminder! I didn't have time to choose a background, so the computer just put it as the one I did before - sorry about that!
