To the lord My Greatest Influence


To the lord My Greatest Influence

 

You have taught me how to write in rhymes

a story's scheme

and to play my voice in rhythm.

 

Although my writings have been shamefully thrown out

burned 

and never to return again

 

you have given me the strength and ability to make something better.

 

to write stories that are some much clearer in form

so much figurative language to form

 

you have given me the chance to write an amazing story

 

and for this I thank you. Amen.
