Not Good Enough! What Should I Do?

Not good enough! What should I do? For wisdom, I must pray. For God is love! That much is true! He knows what I must say. A parable can come tonight before I go to bed. God has the words that I could write from those inside my head. A dictionary proves a friend for every tale I tell. My God has stories He can send if I wait for a spell. And my computer saves the text as easy as can be. So why am I to stay perplexed in writing poetry? A verse or two or three or four. Are these too hard a task? And maybe God will grant me more. If not too proud to ask. And then the edits one-by-one and switched words here and there. Until the time our poem's done in answer to my prayer. Such that I praise God for His aid, His patient guiding hand. A brand new poem gently made, His love to understand. Denis Martindale. July 2020.
