Poetry: A writer's prayer

by Olivia Bredbenner

Created on: August 02, 2008   Last Updated: September 16, 2008

Heavenly father I ask you
Please if you have the time
Take a look at the words I've written
See if you like the rhyme




Too often I've taken the credit
For the thoughts you have given me
It is you that has put them there
Always been clear to see



You gently placed your hands
And let the right words flow
Some I don't even recognize
Others I don't even know




Some are from deep inside of me
Others have faded and died
Some words have struggled hard to be
feelings that wanted to hide




I pray when all is said and done
My words are written down
In ways that are never harmful
And bring smiles instead of frowns



Amen
