From First To Last Poetically
It seems just like only yesterday
when poetry took a real grip on me
as one that struggles with anxious thoughts
stammering words held me not to being free
But the pen brought me release
then felt a calm, an assured peace
the stammer's still here but I've got hope
poetry means I can see confidence increase
I started with poems about a pen
then one about my stammer and dreams
looking back these were pretty basic
now nearly 2000 covered many themes
Trust my writing has improved
well many poetry friends say so
I've also found a greater love for words
as well as rhyme loving it to flow
As a Christian, I've written all about God
my love for Jesus and the glories of His word
also written about music, movies, and memories
social issues often have got me stirred
I've loved writing about nature
so many beautiful scenes to highlight
holidays are delightful to remember back
as well as emotions and just life so sure
Well not telling you what my last will be
but so grateful for everyone's kindness
spurring me to write all the more
life moves on not knowing what's in store
(This is an appraisal of my poetry from the first one to now being at 1999, not telling what the big magical 2000 will be, just wait and see for it won't be long.)
