"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase

No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.

Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).

The Experiences of The Chimney Sweeper explains the hardest part of a working child.

Explanation of the poem "The Chimney Sweeper":

After my mother's death, my father sold me a worker. The work which I was put into was a chimney sweeper.
My head was shaved completely and it was hurting me more. I had a dream about the chimney sweeper that they were died and also an angel who is coming to them free.
Later everyone was playing in the sun. Every day I would get up for work and I would think that if I work hard I would get a reward and set to be free.
One of the main theme of this poem is hope.
