Twas' the Night Before Spotlight

Twas' the night before Spotlight
And all thru the site
The authors were busy
Preparing to write

The paper was empty
As thoughts flowed within
Their hand filled with confidence
Becomes one with the pen

Visions of grander 
Dance in their head
As they read all the comments
That others have said

The words come so easy
It's neither talent nor skill
It's divine inspiration
That's guiding his quill

The author's inspired
From the things that he's read
And never discouraged
By what others have said

So to everyone who's hoping 
To reach the Spotlight
Good luck to you all
And have a Great Write
