My Personal Abc

Ayrshire is where I grew up
Bible is God's book inspired and divine
Christine the great love of my present life
Drawn into contentment a real true sign
Encouragement found in God forever my friend
Films full of love and action are my scene
Gordon's my name Scottish born and bred
Holidays enjoyed with lakes our theme
Inspiration moves one to push my pen
Jean my first love pointed me to the Lord
Kilmarnock is a special town of my formative years
Lord Jesus Christ who showed His sharp sword
Music has influenced me throughout my life
Never seen scenery like the Swiss countryside
Opened my mind biblically reading John Calvin
Poetry became my great love always to abide
Quotes are a means to instill my thought life
Renfrew now my home town a burgh royal
Stammer has always been here to haunt me
Tension fuels my stammer rising to boil
Unknown to many but hoped to impress a few
Voices in tune what a pleasure to hear
Words are a treasure, especially making a rhyme
Xercise my legs, walking to be in top gear
Yellow is my favorite colour so fully bright
Zealous for truth especially God's truth so right

(My personal ABC, looking back over my life bringing together all that importantly comes to mind.)

I am faving this poem Gordon, kudos my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
