When I Struggle To Write
WHEN I STRUGGLE TO WRITE
I sat down to write a poem one day,
But try as I did, no words came my way,
I thought and thought, but to no avail,
Used up my mind just to miserably fail,
Lost memories of pain came back in a flash,
But when I tried again, my memory had a crash,
Exhausted after sometime, I gave up the fight,
Closed my eyes and prayed, "Lord, help me to write."
God opened my eyes and I switched off my mind,
In His world, in His Word, what treasures I could find!
So many things to dig into, what would I choose?
As I let God guide me, my cares I began to lose,
His ink flows through me, I'm just His humble pen,
When God inscribes His words, it's never a burden,
Looking down at the page where I had thought to write,
I saw that it was filled with words beyond my might,
That day, I had only wanted to write a poem,
But God in His grace, showed me how unworthy I am,
Without God in my heart, I couldn't even think,
But now He helps me to write and I spill ink...
