MY POETRY

Some people say I am talented;
And a "special" gift I hold.
Becasue of the verses I write out;
And the stories I have told.

Maybe it is a gift I have;
One that God has given me.
But what I write is so very easy;
The verses flow so free.

"Special" things set my mind to verse;
And the words begin to start.
And every verse that I write down;
Comes from deep within my heart.

It is like all my feelings;
Come pouring out of me.
They fly like soaring eagles;
Wanting to be free.

If this is truly a gift I have;
I thank God from above.
For I owe all I am to Him;
He filled my heart with love.

I only hope to share my gift;
With friends and family.
And anyone else that may be helped;
By what I write and see.
