The Poem

Full of hopes and dreams
I pray.
Every word a purpose plotted
my gift to me
and the world
blown into the ethers
on wings of love and faith,
wishes for happy homes
in other people's hearts
If only,
if only...

It begins with me
indeed,
but syllables plucked 
from the air,
this artist's scribe
with words sprung from finger's pen
begging to fill
the voice of the wind
as authored by
whom; God's will?
or perhaps just me?

*
Always late to the table,
but still offering a few meager words to share
just to say I was there

  3. * I think you are right Glynn. The words just seem to be a gift sometimes and I am merely a medium to let them spill out.

    * Hi Patti. Thank you sweet woman. I should have posted it earlier, but a friend brought over his daughter, while he took his other sick child to hospital. Loved your poem BTW!

  12. It begins with me.
    It begins with me.
    I could say that over and over, Katherine.

    Peace begins with me.
    A helping hand begins with me.
    Reaching out begins with me.

    God's will in us, I think.

    Thank you for reminding me.

    And I'd say you're "late to the table" only to be the dessert we are all craving!

    xoxo
