Why I Write Poetry
Miracle Man

An assignment given when born again,
not something that I’d have chosen to start.
I had just been forgiven for previous sin,
when God placed this calling on my heart.
I later found that it kept my mind keen,
and I seek God’s help with words each day.
Through wakening bed thoughts I always glean,
but God doesn’t give me all that I say.
Anything resembling talent, I give God praise,
but at times, “self,” has been a stumbling block.
*It’s a vow I’ve made until the end of my days,
and a commitment I’ll keep until out of clock.
Sometimes during days when I’ve little to say,
I’m prompted to question, has God taken it away.
This journey began August 28, 1968
*Ecclesiastes 5:5
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
