The Elixir of Words
*inspired by the poem"My Words Are Like Tears" by Constance~A Rambling Poet~
Life's been peppered with hopes and dreams
And I've been filled up with words it seems
Since I was young and till I grow old
I'll take pen and paper -turn it to gold
So deeply rooted inside my heart
I had my words right from the start
Forsaking me not in those times of trial
Cleansing my spirit if just for awhile
Battered and worn these pages be
But each one holds a piece of me
My soul is painted with every line
As life follows its elusive design
And when I reach that sparkling gate
I'll know this wonderment was my fate
The angels will soar and give me lift
God will know I didn't waste His gift
*For Constance's "I am Sending You a Gift of Poetry,Dear Heart" contest
By Deb Wilson
This poem really inspired me as I too feel blessed with the ability to put words together
in a hopefully pleasing and deeply felt manner as Constance does
