Poetry


Christian Writer


I am not eloquent of speech.
I am not scholarly.
I am a basic peasant.

But
I want to tell people about Scripture.

I want to show women
Wonderful lessons learned
From our ancient sisters
In Scripture.

So what do I do?
I pray
I study
I think
I pray some more.

Then

I put words on paper
I struggle with grammar
I struggle with word count
I struggle with editing.

But
I continue

My writing mentor may be the only reader.
There may never be a publisher.

But
I continue
I pray
I study
I think
I pray some more.

Thank You God for giving me
The desire, the honor,
To share Your words
With others
