Keep Writing! Poem by Denis Martindale

Keep writing! Though the page looks bare,
Or screen shines oh so white,
Blank looks can't stop you if you care,
No matter, day or night...
For all you have and all you give
Are tokens of esteem,
Throughout the journey that you live,
Plus every hope and dream...

Keep writing! Though the words play games
And dash around the room,
Take charge, become the one who tames,
Brings little buds to bloom...
For all the times you nurtured well,
Brought forth a harvest home,
Press on with every casting spell
Wrought on your tale or poem...

Keep writing! Though the times are hard,
When money flies away,
When you stand tall, or on your guard,
Through things that critics say...
Fight for the right to write at will,
Free speech within your lips,
Such that it flows and truths instil
Down to your fingertips...

Keep writing! Though the world cares not,
For future's children can,
Yes, striking while the iron's hot,
To serve your fellow man...
God knows the heritage in store,
The hearts and minds to reach,
So don't give up, sit down, explore,
Find what you're meant to teach...

Keep writing! Though you may lose friends,
Or enemies abound,
Your life's not where your journey ends,
If God's grace you've still found...
And if, in Heaven, angels know
Your name among the rest,
That's purely through wise words that flow
From you to all God blessed...
