Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Why I Write

I write for just one reason
and it’s not for fortune or fame
I write to send a message
I write for God in Jesus’ name

I don’t seek approval 
and I don’t seek any praise
I want to please only one
By the end of my days

I’ve been blocked and banned 
I find the truth when I search
I’ve been teased and made fun of
I know my God without any church

I know that Jesus loves me
He has forgiveness in his heart
He is our savior and protector
and he’ll keep our world from falling apart.

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis July 10, 2022 at 4:31 PM Hi dear Mark, I love, "Why I Write" mainly because you "...write in Jesus' name... ." and not for fame. I also wrote a poem with that title. You're inspiring, frank, addressing situations worth addressing.

Nora Gibson February 2, 2021 at 12:48 PM I always see you pic when I open up poetrysoup & my first thought was truck driver, wrestles lions in combat...definitely can't judge a book by it's cover. I love your work Mark Koplin February 2, 2021 at 1:02 PM That is very nice of you, thank you so much for your kind words!

Panagiota Romios July 31, 2020 at 3:09 PM Late KUdOs Mark. But then you said don't care about comments! I do...it connects me with others. I am not the philosopher queen handing out what life means and that's enough? I am a human being, I like love, sharing and giving. Of myself..I am a zero. Pangie xx Mark Koplin July 31, 2020 at 4:00 PM Thank you so much my Greek friend! I guess I appreciate comments a little bit. Lol :)

Rob Carmack July 29, 2020 at 6:44 AM "I know my God without any church". Indeed Jesus is to be known personally, no intercessor needed. Mark Koplin July 29, 2020 at 7:22 AM Indeed. A personal relationship is key
