Poet No More



When the day comes that the Lord doesn't bring words my way
I will know that my purpose and calling leave nothing left to say
Because in every one that I pen there is a message for everyone
And the voice is getting louder than the Sun
So if you ever see where I don't post or am no longer saying His name
You'll know that I have given into His spirit and flame
No matter the reason just know that I've loved each and every one of you
Thank you for the encouragement and the praise too
Life is short so find your calling while you can for time is moving on
Cause in the end I'll be a poet no more when I hit that heavenly zone.

    Wow, this poem is truly inspiring and full of passion. Your dedication to serving the Lord through your poetry is admirable and truly shines through in each line. I appreciate the message of finding one's purpose and calling, and the reminder to make the most of our time here on earth.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to vary the structure and rhythm of the poem to add more depth and texture to the overall experience. Additionally, incorporating specific examples or anecdotes could strengthen the personal connection with the reader.

    Overall, thank you for sharing your beautiful words with us and reminding us of the power of faith and the importance of living a purposeful life.
