I'M Glad That I'M A Poet...

I'm glad that I'm a poet, yes! I'm proud to say I try to bless! With scriptures at my beck and call, I hope to help folks, one and all! Sometimes a song comes to my mind! When I'm in love, I feel inclined To share the heights and depths and prayers, The inmost thoughts of one who cares! I'm not averse to verse that aids The lover in his serenades! Or gives dejected souls a boost! Or helps God's Truth come home to roost! My words are either truths or lies... They're either foolish or they're wise... They're either from the Lord or not... They'll miss the mark or hit the spot... They'll fail the message I impart... Or strike a chord within the heart... I'm glad at least sometimes to try! To make a poem from a sigh! Or change one thought, creating two! Or sometimes splitting points of view! Like atoms crushed against themselves And later brought down from the shelves, To serve me when I need them most Such that my readers stay engrossed - Remarking on my wit or style Or merely chuckling with a smile! I'm glad that I'm a poet, yes! I'm proud to say I try to bless!
