"Make Me Lord"

Send me Lord , ere I go,

Let me walk, in you so;

All my life I’ll Abide,

With you Lord By My Side.

Call me Lord, Where I go,

That where I am, you will know;

All my soul to you I give,

Only for you Lord, do I live.

Love me Lord with Love Divine,

Help me live on precepts thine;

All thy promises I know are mine,

Let me fall Lord, on mercies thine.

Sometimes a person wonders, where do writers get their inspiration? in answer to this question, let me preface by saying that if I had stopped to write down all the moments of inspiration, the thoughts and the waterfalls of words that were flowing and tumbling seemingly out of nowhere, I suppose I would have many poem books by now. but if you don't stop at the moment of inspiration and begin writing, then just like a scrolling teleprompter, the previous lines and verses slide out of mind as the new ones come aboard.. So, to truly capture inspiration you have to stop wen it happens and write it down! MOJ

Starting when I was very young, I heard poetry within me, and began to let it out through writing short verses, including the one above. Some think that short is bad, and sometimes it seems that ratings are lowered due to brevity. But in opposition to this, my thoughts are that if its short, and its meant to be brief, then let it be short and brief!
