Humbled By Poetry

I’m so humbled I’m able to write

I’ll get giddy with penning delight

I’ve a poetic style

That has taken a while

Now my shadows are bathed in the light

Poems offer me greater expressions

They teach me some meaningful lessons

Whatever the season

There’s rhyme and there’s reason

I marvel throughout all these sessions

I’ll write poems of religion and war

Or of people I even deplore

I’ll write of addictions

And peoples afflictions

Yet I’m certain I still could do more

When I’m troubled I’ll write to the Lord

We’ve a bond like a three braided chord

I often have said it

I won’t take the credit

It’s a passion He’s led me toward

I’m inspired to just write what I feel

About issues too often too real

But given my druthers

I love helping others

So I write hoping someone will heal
