Beyond The Destiny! Poem by Denis Martindale

Hello, poet, hello, poetry!
Hello to questions within!
Hello to God-blessed destiny,
If you do not give in...

And yet, in truth, I tell you this,
it all depends on you
and not the poems that you'll write,
yet credit where it's due...

Your life's a one-time here decree,
a gift surpassing all,
if you believe in destiny,
then, please accept that call...

To think, use ink, to write what's right,
but then and only then,
find time, the writing time, insight,
That God grants once again...

Because, in truth, God only knows,
each great verse meant to be,
the good you share that grows and grows,
if that's your destiny!
