Can I Improve My Writing Skills?

Can I improve my writing skills beyond the skills I've got Such that my writing gives me chills and thrills me on-the-spot? Can I express true happiness, gladness and sadness, too, Such that in time I come to bless my readers just like you? Can I transport us to the stars and planets out of sight Such that we learn what comes to pass out there by day and night? Can I reach out beyond the page, beyond the Internet Such that no matter what your age God's wisdom you can get? Can I explain the complex things in words most understand Such that I share the King of Kings and what the Lord has planned? Can I reveal what's good as gold, the facts you need to know, Such that new stories can be told before my time to go? Can I set free the finest themes from my mind then to yours Such that you see these more than dreams and true faith reassures? Can I do more through prayer and love with brand new poetry Such that in time I've done enough to leave a legacy? If yes, then I must take my time to meditate a while, Before I write what proves sublime, perhaps to make you smile. It's up to me to bless Mankind each time I do my part As long as rhymes stay on my mind and nestle in my heart… Denis Martindale July 2020.
