Cynthia Jones Poet Rhyme

The Gift of Poetry

The gift of God inspired me
it was thirteen years ago today,
writing of nature and the world
inspiration hits in every way.

I have won online awards
many shiny trophies too,
I have penned so much 
I don't know what to do.

I try to sort them all out
so each one gets the chance to be seen,
there were times I wanted to give up
into the state of depression I have been.

I thank God every single day
for the gift He has given to me,
able to write about many things
especially for the gift of poetry.

I can't believe I've been writing for this long. I wanted to throw in the towel a few times, but a few of my online friends wouldn't let me. Thank you to God, for this wonderful gift. A special thank you to the friends that didn't let me give up on myself.
