The Ink Just Won'T Run Dry

Now that I have gone past 1700
have I nopt written all that I can write?
I don't want just to repeat myself
being a light gone out in the night

But still these blessed AP friends
encourage me with such comforting lines
showing how appreciative they all are
receiving kind words recognise the signs

Everytime I pick up that pen of mine
thinking what can I think upon  now
but the good Lord fills good thoughts
masking poetic music in the mind, O wow!

It's such a positive feeling within
when another piece you provide
one's inner thoughts can be released
to inspire others that you can confide

It's amazing to think what a pen does
the ink just won't run dry
positive thoughts I always try to find
so others get that desire to really try!

(After having written 1700 poems, just some thoughts on how my ink can go on and for how long!)

The story of The Good Lord never gets ole my friend. No matter how many times I read it there is always something new to learn from it. I never get tired of it. It's like the words "I Love You". You can never hear it too many times. God Bless my friend and brother. JB
