The Gift of Poetry

Dear Lord
thank you for poetry
a special gift given to us from you
a great way to express ourselves   of your goodness
and the amazing things that you can do
as you minister deep into our heart
words with our pen on to paper then  start to depart
words of love and  devotion and so much more
all Glory honour and praise be to you
both now and forever more
we can only write in  the way and the  styles  that  we do
not because of us but because  those gifts and tallents come  from you. Amen.
