Not mine to keep, but mine to share

---

God gave me the gift of poetry and I was going to leave it there,

But he said no my son it's not yours, it's yours to share,

If I gave you £5, £10 or a grand,

No matter what amount was in your hand,

If I told you it was given for you to share,

Then it would not be yours to spend,

Nor yours to put high upon a shelf,

He said " My son, I love that you use your poetry to praise me",

But that there is not the end,

Go forth and share what I have given you throughout the land.

Likewise, I found a great light and kept it to myself,

Again the Lord spoke to me,

He said "My son, a light should not be kept under a bushel,

It should be allowed to shine out for all,

So let your light shine out for all to see,

That it may guide those in need to me,

For this is the purpose of the light,

That it may shine out throughout the night,

A great light for all mankind to see,

That they may find hope and freedom in me."

It is not I of whom I speak but Christ within,

The same one who gifted me with creativity,

Is the great light for all to see,

He is the one who sets the captive free,

So it would surely be a sin to withhold this truth of our eternal king.

This is why I share my poetry,

That all may find truth in Christ the King.
