The Three Things I Am Proud To Be

How glad I am That a poet, novelist and artist Are all I am When I’m sad, I can strum it on a guitar When I’m depressed, I can set my stress free in words When I’m inspired, I can plaster it in the pages I author When I’m creative, I can paint my heart on a canvas When I’m disturbed, I can smudge it on yet another canvas I can’t imagine anything that’d be better For again, my reward comes in knowing All else of this earth I live comes and goes ...at ease on the wings of change... riding the breeze of fate Thank you All Mighty Powers responsible for my being For this talent you’ve given me For with it I’m not worried like a celebrity ...if I’m a one hit wonder And I don’t wonder if tomorrow I’ll still be a wonder For in tomorrow is the promise that a scholar ...is bound to pass over my works and evaluate its worth Thank you Almighty For the immortality of words Tunes change and movies fade But words always remain the same In it what this one doesn’t see The other one is bound to see And from it yet another is bound to be inspired Such is an awesome power And for as long as I live It’s mastery is what I seek A poet, a novelist, an artist The three things I’m so proud to be As of now I have none But I’m never worried about the cash For even God knows that I work indeed And soon I trust He’ll send destiny to reward me For still I am like Him Creating life where it didn’t exist Inscribing life into each blank page Endearing beauty to a plain canvas Adding sweetness to a silent time Oh, thank you Almighty How proud I feel Whenever I glimpse and see the real me

It's really God's blessings to be three in one and that too with music and no regrets., Wiseton
