My mate asked me to compose some words
Which left me kinda scared
Write something godly or about nature she said
But nothing would come into me head
I sat here staring at an empty screen
But no words forthcoming it would seem
I asked for help for what to say
But He must have been asleep today
So I sat and stared at the screen some more
Words would come pretty soon I was sure
But nothing happened, words wouldn't come
I think my brain has been struck dumb
I sat and waited for inspiration to come
I know it is easy for some
I made myself a cup of tea
Perhaps that would help, I would have to see
So ten minutes later I'm still sat here
Wondering whether my brain will get into gear
I can't believe I have nothing to write
Especially since I have filled a poetry site
Maybe that was the problem
My brain, overworked
Was behaving like glue
Trying to sort out sites of which I have two
Looking for music, pictures and pretty things
Hoping to make my sites better and bring
Inspiration to others who went to look
Realising all of my poems would fill a book
Perhaps I had overdone things
Perhaps I needed the peace which sleeps brings
Perhaps I should just forget this project for today
And save it for another day
But stubborn I was determined to write
So I continued to sit here despite
Feeling low that I could find little to say
Other than writing nonsense in an inane way
My mate had asked me for a poem you see
To put with others on her Christian site
What has God's done to make you feel right
So perhaps now my thoughts would run free
What hasn't God done for me
Would be easier list and for you to see
Cos he has done so much in my life
That I don't know where to start to write
So there you go inspiration has struck
Now there you go and it is just my luck
Now that I have got something to say
I have run out of time to type today
