We know that writers can transform their characters
from zeros to heroes, but not always themselves.
When I write nice little poems, it's because
I enjoy them and want others to enjoy them.
...
For God so loved the world He gave
His one and only Son,
His Holy Child who was so brave
He did what must be done...
...
The power of positive thinking,
The impetus within,
The commencing of an inkling,
The joys that make us grin...
...
As carefree as the fairy smile,
Upon her sugared lips,
With chocolate hair for her profile
And almond fingertips,
...
Many tigers can get along,
Yet brothers most of all,
Beyond the bond that makes them strong,
Regardless, great or small...
...
Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ?
Oh, no, in truth, not I,
From death He rose, though sacrificed,
With thousands asking, 'Why! ? '
...
The blue and gold macaw looked round,
Surveying what was seen,
Above the forest trees and ground
Still vibrant verdant green...
...
Across the hills, across the plains,
The Maasai people roam,
Sometimes to pause for short term gain,
Sometimes to build a home...
...
African sun, behold him there...
One lion, nothing more.
He's lying down without a care,
No yearning to explore...
