Just a heads up to all you out there, I absolutely love writing poetry!  You can probably expect me to post a lot of poems here over the course of my trip, especially seeing as I shouldn’t be short handed on great substance to write about!  I wrote this one about a year ago…

The Gift

Life is a beat

A drum on the beach

Stand in the sand

And you’ll hear the band

 

It’s simple, quite simple

All of it, quite enjoyable

Tough and good

A game of would, should, now could

 

A breadth speaks life

A death sparks strife

But even today, yes today

We live out His Way

 

To think we own

But it’s more a loan

Foolish ways of deserved thinking

When it’s all gifted, even blinking

 

So how to repay?

We don’t! It’s ok.

Acceptance is key

Simply love, that’s the fee

 

So we’re free!

Yes free, you and me!

Nothing to prove, nothing to lose

It’s all a gift, for Him to use!
