Think Ink! Poem by Denis Martindale

Think ink! Think ink! Think ink! Think ink!
It's so important, guys!
Before tonight in bed you sink,
Write something down, be wise!
This day will never come again!
You'll blink and see it gone!
So capture thoughts and use that pen,
Release the light that shone!

Tomorrow isn't guaranteed!
Who knows if we survive?
Who knows if God still has to need
To keep us folks alive?
I'm making sure, by writing out,
The secrets that God sends,
I'm spreading Good News all about
With enemies and friends!

Think ink! Think ink! Think ink! Think ink!
Invest your precious time!
Who knows if you are on the brink
With poetry sublime?
Who knows if God is pleased with you?
Redeem the time today!
For pretty soon, each life is through,
With little left to say!

But I will pray for strength enough
So you can lift your pen!
That God will fill your heart with love
Again and again and again!
You've no excuse, you so-and-so...
Pick up your pen and write!
Thank God for poems that will flow
Before you sleep tonight!
