carrying your word
a messenger, a voice
in the dark night
a light, a lamp, a torch
hoping I will burn bright

“A Calling to Write”

-----------------------
A Calling to Write
Not oblique,
something unclear
not with words grandiose
a calling to write clear and terse
Poetry, beauty
in the straightforward
message from God
the words I hear in my heart
Called to share freely from him
to the ends of the earth
Comfort, hope, one truth revealed,
the love of Christ complete.
By his grace alone
we are made whole
our eternal lives restored.
