Poetry - My Source of Inspiration
Poetry has been my Godsend
having a stammer all my days
it's been an outlet for inward thoughts
therapeutically bringing peace that stays
Having a pen in my right hand
brings real calmness deep within
for first 50 years never thought poetic
but since then words so very inspiring
Not a day ever goes past
when I don't read or write
I love Rossetti, Frost, and Dickinson
they so inspire me to the height
I especially love to write of my saviour
the GodMan Christ Jesus utterly divine
He is everything to my very soul
shows me His word to sit down and dine
Hoping to write poetically for a long time
to continue being inspired forever and a day
I thank God for this heart desire so fine
now words fail me what more can I say
(Just was thinking recently why do I like poetry? so here's the answer to that question.)
