Was That You? Poem by Radhika Karia
Was That You?
I saw the sun on a winter day, and it got me out of bed...
was it warmth...was that you?
I hurt my leg but i quietly lay, and the pain went dead...
was it strength...was that you?
When I had no penny in my pocket, i found money on the ground...
it was hope...was that you?
I was lonely until you I met, and my heart made a happy sound...
was it love...was that you?
I worked hard day in and out, to acheive success and fame...
was it faith...was that you?
there was a miracle that i heard about, and it had more than one name...
was it light...was that you?

This has a good feel to it (fix typo in line 4) . I don't think that you needed to bring God into the last line. I think the readers would understand. But that aside, I like the idea behind this and, in particular, the rhyme scheme. the rhymes are obvious but that is not a problem as they are stated in a less obvious fashion. I think that your grammer in this, whilst not 'proper', is what makes the poem stand out. You are, obviously, working with a second language and you put that to good use.
