Oh, to be like a contagious song— a melody of peace that brings people into relationships of rescue and offerings of faith

Make my life a poem, Lord! One which inspires and moves The hearts of readers near and far— This world, to serve and improve.
Make my life a flower, Lord! Though fleeting I may be. Bright with color, joy and wonder, Reflecting your creativity.
Make my life a painting, Lord! One longs to enter in— For contemplation, restoration, Remembering where to begin.
Make my life a candle, Lord! For someone in the dark, Lighting the path of truth and life 1. And loving with all my heart.

This Writer’s Goal
To write what You want me to write. Not a word out of place, Not with self-confidence,
But, trusting in You to shed light. Of malice or pride, not a trace. Of Yours, and not my own sense.
Tone and diction can be wrong or right. Like an expression on a face, Error has no recompense.

Why Write?
Why write? Why not? You and I have learned a lot!
You share, and I believe. Words can, my doubts relieve.
I share, and you can see, how our God has worked on me.
He gives hope amidst the pain. Peace and joy, eternal gain.
Some of us just must express our wonder, tears, our thankfulness.

By words, please.
Wandering words Thoughts occurred Fears assured—
Heart cries Agony sighs Reason whys—
Visual glee Life I see Reason to be—
Moments, these To capture, freeze Opportunity, seize—
By words, please.
