I'm Not Really A Writer

Giving credit to the one who deserves it

I’M NOT REALLY A WRITER…

I like to put my thoughts on paper
With encouraging words now and then
But I’m really not a writer
God just lets me hold the pen

Sometimes I’ll write a story
Or a poem about love so grand
But I’m really not a writer
God’s just borrowing my hand

I write when I feel frustrated
When I feel knocked down again
But I’m really not a writer
I just get to hold God’s pen

Occasionally I’ll sit at the computer
A restless mind I hope to ease
But I’m really not a writer
I just get to press the keys

I hope that what I write brings smiles
To folks who wear a frown
But I’m really not a writer
I just get to write it down

Some may say I have a talent
That makes a reader feel good again
But I’m really not a writer
I just let God use my pen
