His Wiill and His Way True Story

How a person comes to writing, I guess it is different for everyone I know it was for me, especially poetry For year I hated it, thought that I could never do anything like that But then like a miracle , for me it turned into be fun Sitting there at an old typewriter and writing poetry Me of all people and wearing my old cowboy hat It all started by keeping a diary and writing a book I had been threw some traumatic times with my daughter in the recent past They say that The Lord works in strange ways He got my attention and made me take another look Sometimes thinking it would never end, how long will it last? I write with no end and the same for the days I knew that I had to vent or I would explode, so I would write Late one afternoon, I was writing like my fingers were on fire It is said that the pen is more mighty than the sword, that is how I fight I had that typewriter smoking like it was on fire Gospel type word put into verse form is what I was starting to see I showed it to my mother, in a matter of minutes it was done She had taught school for years, She said, "Danny, this is good" "You ought to enter it into s song writing contest" "Look who really wrote it for you, he is the one" She read it again and said, " I think you really should" I grinned, "Mom I guess you are right, he is the best" Months later, a gospel recording company picked it as song of the year In the contest, I won a $1000 and got the bug but deep down inside I got humble and started to pray And fighting the Old Devil without any fear Naturally, I gave my Mother a kiss and a great big hug The title of the song was-- HIS WILL AND HIS WAY
