Only God can write a poem
that will last beyond mere words,
grip the hearts, minds, and souls
of all those who happen upon them
and will make them their own.
Only God can give true meaning
to droplets of ink placed upon
parchment drawn from the hearts of those
who grip the instrument.
Only God can calm the restless spirit,
soothe the questioning mind,
hold the weary soul,
revive the worn out body.
Only God can grant solutions sought
and only mankind can seek them.
Oh,
but if only they would earnestly embrace
the true value of blessings from God above
and jealously guard their faith to sustain them
in such times of trouble and sorrow.
Only God can grant solutions sought.
And only mankind can seek them.
"O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You."
