If I could illuminate scripture each day
And capture the essence of what the words say,
Mix in God’s Spirit that lives in my soul,
Perhaps in a small way I’d fulfill a role.
If I mentioned the scriptures that Jesus can heal,
Would it help others know and affect how they feel?
Perhaps if I write of the joy I have found,
Others will find it and spread it around.
I try to share more than a rhyme about trees,
Or a walk in the woods or the birds and the bees.
I try to share wisdom once read from a scroll,
Preserved through the ages more precious than gold.
I pray I paint signposts that help show the way,
Lead others to scriptures to read what they say.
