So I wrote this poem a while ago for a school project I believe it was...I'd love some feedback.
A long time ago in a land far away There lived a fair maiden, on a bright sunny day Her hair was like gold, her skin was like peaches And she dreamed of spending her days on bright beautiful beaches She dreamed of love of adventure and romance And was sure she could find 'him' given the chance So she set out on a journey far away to find The One who would love her, be jealous yet kind So she searched and she searched far and wide Yet she could not find where The One did hide Under the rocks, and over the hills Even under the leaf of every daffodil Soon home she returned, a hole in her heart Without her long awaited, heard searched for other part Feeling lonely and lost she then turned to a Friend Sitting in the Church were she used to attend "Father please help me, I fear I do wander And feeling alone has caused me to ponder Why did I leave You? I do not remember I once was a fire, but now im an ember." She sat there and cried, hearing nothing but silence But then a voice came and she jumped with such violence "My Daughter, My love, the one I have chosen Please trust my plan for it can not be broken The love that you seek is not to be found In anyone but he who was laid in the ground After he died, he rose three days later You won't find a love like His that is greater." She sat there in silence with tears in her eyes And lifted her empty hands up high to the skies The hole in her heart was no longer bare For the love of God and Jesus was there "Thank you God for helping me see That all I search for is already in me Forever I shall praise your name on high Forever I shall stay to your side nigh I shall give you my life, just like the wise men And love your forever, in Jesus Amen."

As someone who typically stays away from any rhyme scheme in poetry I find the rhymes in this piece stubble, yet at times too much, my biggest piece of advice is to chop down work that are more than 3 syllables, making the piece easier for the reader to grasp and it gives a more uniform pace to your poem. Overall you have a very strong piece and your use of bright words with a general bright poem is a great match.
