Inspiration is what allows me to write,
and I thank You Father for this precious delight.

Without Your guidance I could not write a word,
I could not share the miracle that has occurred.

I couldn't tell others of the salvation story,
or of how Jesus wants us to live with Him in glory.

I wouldn't be able to minister to those in pain,
or explain how much each has to gain.

I wouldn't be able to dry up another's tears,
ease their pain or alleviate their fears.

None of these things would I be able to do,
without this gift I have from You.

I am blessed so much to be allowed to take part,
in reaching out to others to touch their heart.

I asked to be of service to You,
I cried out Father "Please find something for me to do".

You heard and provided in the most astonishing way,
by giving me the exact words to say.

I thank You Father from deep in my heart,
for finding a work in which I could take part.

Inspiration is a precious gift to me,
and inspiration is what some find in my poetry.
