By Blessing Graced

Reflectively, at peace within my mind my thoughts upon the words I have to say though lacking much it's richness that I find for I am blessed to write them all away. So often all the words that I have penned have been the only voice I've ever had and turning to my dear and trusted friend I've often sought the comfort of my pad. Even at a tender age in time when the only things I had were words and prayers child like I'd soothe myself in rhyme as God watched over me and eased my tears. This gift to me stands high among the rest and by Gods grace I know I have been blessed. Inspired by Brian Strands My Sonnets contest

Very beautiful Robin, you revealed your deepest thoughts and emotions here..I know what it is like to respond to paper with all that I feel. At times I cannot say things aloud but it sure helps to write them down, I write when I'm angry,sad, happy,confused, no matter what I'm feeling I write. God is watching over all of us and there is nothing he can't do..You have truly been blessed by God with this gift of poetry and so many other wonderful blessings.. Give him the praise..Lovely Write*Tyesha
