How I Write...

a new poem

the image from my Butterfly Thoughts logo - putting my heart on the page, in order to touch your hearts.

Writing

I hold the pen
by the open door
in my mind,
and wait.

Adonai sends the words
that flow -- not
always smoothly --
onto my paper,
and into the hearts
of the readers.

I accept their praise,
but redirect it
to the true Author.

I know Adonai
sends the words.
I just hold the pen.

I wrote this last month, after (once again) telling a friend who complimented my writing that “I just hold the pen.” We both agreed we’re very glad God has given me this talent for wordsmithing.

I honestly don’t know who I’d be without His gift of words - it’s been part of me for the majority of my life.

Thanks for letting me share my gift of words with you. And thank you, Adonai, for your gift. May I always uses it to bless and encourage others.
