One Of The Reasons I Write
These words I write
to explain one of
the reasons I write.
When God gives
me words to say
I need to write them
day or night.
This is a prayer to Him I said
it launched me into a
writing spree.
It was in the 1970's
when He
answered this
prayer for me.
How can I witness
for you Lord
when the right words
don't come to me ?
How can I tell others
all about you
when I can't speak
when I have
the opportunity?
How can I tell others
of your love Lord
that you died on the
cross for our sins ?
How can I show how
sweet forgiveness is
when I don't know how
to express this
to my friends?
How can others know
I love you Lord ?
Can they feel or see it
in the life I live ?
Can they hear it in my
voice when I speak
or in the things I do,
little things I can give?
How can I be
an inspiration
to others Lord?
Does my light shine,
so others might see
the love you have
to give to them
and the Holy Spirit
living inside of me?
How can I tell to
others Lord
that like a sheep
I often stray
but you always
come and rescue me
and help me once
again find my way?
How can I witness
for you Lord
when my prayers are
always in silent form?
Lord, can I witness
some how for you
by writing it down
like this in a poem?
Can I be a witness
for you Lord
by writing down
on paper the way I feel?
Can I by this way,
tell to my friends
that God is great,
He's good and real?
If I can witness this way
for you Lord
rhen increase my talent and skill
that my pen might
write the words
which are in accordance
to your Holy Will.

writing many inspirational poems afterward, that seemed to just
appear in my mind, and all I did was get my pen and
write them.)
