Poetry isn’t just words,
we write because they rhyme,
Poetry comes from living,
from experience through time.
Those thoughts from the heart,
that we must put into words,
Of experiences we’ve had,
of the things that we have heard.
The Father who we love,
puts these words in you and me,
Because this is the way,
He created us to be.
He made us creative,
He gave us soul and mind,
and that is why we feel the need,
to speak to all mankind.
I take no credit for these words,
for He put them in me.
for these musings, for this art,
for this creativity,
He has given this gift of poetry,
to me, and to you,
so I thank Him for this work,
He has given me to do.
