If I had a gift to write!
Wondrous works would I create
From words beautiful and bright.
Oh, I might write a sonnet
That would be a lot of fun
About your Easter bonnet,
But already that’s been done.
I could create a poem
Or pen an epic gory,
Fabricate a fairy tale
Or scrawl a bedtime story.
Perhaps I might imagine
Suspense most terrifying
With mystery and danger
And evil people dying.
A science fiction novel
I could try to fantasize,
Or of the world’s great wonders
In an essay rhapsodize.
In hopes to make things better,
I’d compose a happy song.
I’d record lyrics simply
So that all could sing along.
I just can’t write like Shakespeare
A romantic comedy.
He was among the greatest,
And I wasn’t meant to be.
But when I count my blessings,
I forget my artless woes
And honor God by writing
My best poetry and prose.
