Reasons For Writing

My reasons for writing are so many
Writing's second skin, like breathing to me.
Thoughts and ideas, life lessons I learned,
Woven in words and rhyme,  joy fully earned.
I write not to destroy but to create,
To inspire and uplift some in their faith.
Bring light, perhaps wisdom, and comfort there,
Touch some with a thought that they'll remember.
Writing is God's gift,  to Him I'll answer, 
Grateful each day He made me a writer!

"But I tell you that everyone will have to give account 
on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 
For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words 
you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37)

Timothy Hicks March 9, 2016 at 11:41 PM I see that you are very connected to your faith, Cynthia. God bless you. Writing feels second skin to me as well ... part of who I am, like it or not. Another great poem. Cynthia Buhain-Baello March 10, 2016 at 3:42 AM Thank you Timothy, glad you liked it. If not for God's mercy, I wouldn't be here writing...or breathing.
