The Start


Start


Fall was a huge part


Thanksgiving, family


Talents and poetry


On my bed one day


Inventorying my talents and abilities


The pencil went to paper as I prepared to draw


Then to my amazement and awe


I started to write


About myself, my family, and the word of Jesus Christ


At first, I felt no need for the script to be shared or priced


Once my teacher saw it, the only action that sufficed


Was to show my parents


Who being parents nurturing and caring


Framed it twice for the whole house to see


I was filled with glee


To see it proclaimed that me and my house will serve the Lord


I continue to write


And it is a constant fight to promote the light
