Something Special For You! Poem by Denis Martindale

Well, hello, there, fellow poet,
Though Writer's Block holds sway,
You've still time, before you know it,
I know, you'll seize the day!
For the Lord's there, ever-present,
Yes, right there by your side
And thanks to Him, the Writer's Friend,
Today, He'll turn the tide!

He'll warm your heart, He'll stir your mind,
He'll kindle dreams anew,
He'll whisper words so that you'll find
Something to write for you...
And inspiration, once it's breathed,
Transcends both time and space,
Such that the Writer's Block relieved,
A smile adorns your face!

Perchance some vision may appear,
Just like a TV show,
That casts out doubt, that casts out fear,
That little word called, 'No! '
And like a rose without a thorn,
A poem title starts
The brand new poem to be born,
To bless a billion hearts!

For with the Lord, His saints unite,
To hear the poets sigh,
They've prayed to Him to help us write,
They've blessed us by and by...
That's why the Lord responds like this,
To poets everywhere,
Who scratch their heads and sometimes miss
The poems wrought by prayer...

Take heart, for you've still words within,
Faith like a mustard seed,
You've got no reason to give in,
Succeed, you shall, indeed...
He made the sun, the moon, the stars,
Can poems be that hard?
No, surely they can come to pass,
To bless each mortal bard...

God gave you heart and mind and soul,
God gave you language, too,
God gave you precious self-control,
God wants to help you through...
So ask, seek, knock... as writers should,
For wondrous words to pen,
You'll be amazed that they're so good,
You'll praise Him once again!
