Am Not a Poet

I praise words
I sing words
I talk words
Emotions are part of me
Actions are in me
Am a person
Am a human
I praise words
Words that work
I work with words
Those who hate words
Know nothing about words
Am a human
But who work with words
Am not a poet

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

Maybe you are the "poet" who doesn't "know it" someone famous said that rhyme once, but I can't remember who. This was very nice to read.
