Being Speechless Without a Word

So often felt without a word many handicaps come in at one time nerves, stress, tight throat, breathless these things gripped causing false rhyme Panic signs make one lose control being under its grip I fall to lose no word you feel can be said thinks I'd be better on a cruise Strive through life to find calmness knowing this is the elusive jewel one wonders can it ever be found? not like one's spirit needing renewal There comes a time to consider that there's no more I can do just got to leave it in God's hand His sovereign purpose will come true Being speechless without a word so often this was my plight but be thankful it's not all the time in my dark tunnel, there's some light (Thinking about a time I was rendered speechless which in fact has happened a few times in my life, so this is my experience of these times.)

Many people suffer from stage fright. Your wonderful poem brings this to mind. I do believe that God can help remedy any case of speechlessness. Have a nice evening, Evelyn

Sometimes we can be rendered speechless when we are in the presence of someone we greatly admire. Other times we feel we are in some way inadequate before someone and fear looking foolish. It's happened to me before. I'm reminded of Moses who was sent by God to speak for his people and Moses feared to go because of his speech impediment. But God told him to go and He would give him the words to say so he went and the rest is history. A fine write my friend. God Bless, JB

I enjoyed reading this poem, Gordon; and especially the verse,"There comes a time to consider that there's no more I can do just got to leave it in God's hand His sovereign purpose will come true". Your poet friend, Bill
