I used to fear speaking, stating, asking
I feared rebuttal and grief
I feared rejection of what I’m saying
I feared dismissal of my belief
No longer do I fear this way
Instead I embrace my responsibility
As a writer to share every day
My persuasion to the best of my ability
At times my words seem to fail
Sometimes I lack the understanding
But time after time I tell the tale
Of my knowledge again expanding
I will gain new wisdom to share
And God will show me how
Should I doubt my newest dare
I will return to Him who knows
Never would I have gotten so far
If it were not for His constancy
And should my belief mar
He once again guides diligently
