Thank You for the Gift

Perched here within my writer’s garret, among all my dusty books and notes. I'll bare my soul and try to share it, all my stories, poems, quips, and quotes. Sometimes inspiration guides my hand, but other times nothing to be heard. It's hard for people to understand, the struggle to find that perfect word. Though my attempts might fail, I won’t quit, like the Phoenix, I will rise again. If my heart still beats, I know that it, will have me write and never give in. Thank you, God, for the gift of story, I have strained to pen them full and well. In hopes the world will know your glory, with my humble words, I've tried to tell.

From one Jerry to another, "My sentiments exactly" seldom do I see a poem that I wished that I had written, and here's one. Great job Jer
