Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

An Encouraging Word To Write

Having a conversation with fellow Christian
one day speaking on how loved to write
poetry especially was friends favourite
having written many with literal bite
 
Asked if I had ever tried a piece
said in my mid 20s did use my pen
but was dark depressive and dull
threw them away unworthy to open
 
This friend encouraged me to try again
he suggested a gift maybe there inside
open and practise never know what you’ll find
maybe it’ll be special to all you’ll then confide
 
When he looked at my early writings
thought it had potential so  I did persevere
so after all these years ago ten in all
it’s amazing looking back how it’s reached here
 
Now having met many more encouragers
on PS been exhorted to continue through
hopefully I’ve inspired others likewise
so together spread it that you can do it too
