Self Portrait

Starin’ at this piece of paper

waitin’ for the words to come;

don’t know what they’re gonna say,

don’t know where they’re commin’ from.

Ya know, I could tell ya

what makes me wanna write,

it’s just I get inspired

be it day or be it night.

My mother and my daughter

and my grandkids inspire "hope",

sometimes I’ll write about faith and God,

like when I’m runnin’ outta rope.

Or I’ll write about life’s lessons

or the choices that we make,

sometimes I peruse the topic of love,

and give my personal "take".

Some silly stuff…..some serious,

to entertain is not my goal;

I try and conjure a view with words,

inside all of our souls.
