Speaking With Your Ink Not a Blot

The mind indeed is a wondrous thing
it has so much fully retained within
therefrom schooling years to old age
but no matter what it's tainted with sin

Only God can deal with such a state
His judgement alone will have its day
to escape this plight requires a sacrifice
only Jesus can be this perfect offering today

Ink that flows so sweetly has no blot
learn well with your pen a voice
speak with real insight and right
guide your pen so make a correct choice

Remember your tongue flows from your mind
enabling the pen to purposefully write
all that's in your own little grey cells
use it so others may know some new light

The pen is the tongue of the mind
speaking with your ink not a blot
let it flow like a long Mississippi
words to encapture your fire on the spot!

"The pen is the tongue of the mind")

WoW! Gordon, You have penned some wise advice. I never looked at it like that, but it is so true, the pen is the tongue of the mind. Just like one should be careful of what they say, one should be careful what they write. I enjoyed the read. Happy Easter:-) Alexis

Super write my friend. "The pen is the tongue of the mind." Love that quote. I have always said that what comes out of your mouth shows what is going on in your mind. Thus telling what kind a a person you are. This is excellent. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. Praise The Lord! He Is Risen! JB
