INSPIRATION ON HOLIDAY
It seems at the moment that inspiration is on holiday,
That poetic thoughts have wandered far, far away,
No sweet messages flow, all is empty and barren,
No bright ideas to think of or ideas to call upon.
I still see the beauty that is a feast for all to see,
I appreciate the blessing but no words come to me,
To express or inspire to feed a hungry human mind,
It is as though for awhile my gift I have left behind.
Come back precious gift given by my God so freely,
Come and once again charge my empty mind to see
What it is Thou would have me write this good day,
Please sweet inspiring words again come my way.
An empty chasm is all that fills my aching heart,
For the last few days I have been unable to do my part
To cheer, to bless or gladden those who need a lift,
I pray dearest Father that I have not lost this gift.
Feed me with the words that flow from springs of delight,
Bless my thoughts that they may spread Thy pure light,
Help me find the right words to bless someone this day,
And I pray with fervent heart that you can use me in this way.
