A Poet's Benediction


Tenderly, kindle your scented
candles~
Or burn some aromatic, heady
incense, too!
If only a few people acknowledge
your worth,
Why is it so important to you?

You don't need the roar of the
crowd!
Because, you see,God knows
your talents,
And He applauds you most
affirmatively.
He is your number one follower.

Just do your poetic best and do
follow in His ways.
After all, He is the Man of all 
Men, who thinks the very
best of you.

More significantly, He is the
man, that gave you the body
you are in.
That self same body that moves
your poetic pen!

The true honor to God is to be ourselves; afterall, he made sure we were each different, didn't he? Like snowflakes.

A great point, Caren! I do have to remind myself not to ignore God and make poetry a religion. Your snowflake, Panagiota
