'Never Said' Poem by Linda Winchell

Never said that I was brilliant
Never said that I was great.
Never said that I was a millionaire
Because my dearest friend, ” I ain’t! ”

Never said that I was handsome
Never said that I was fine.
Never said that I was a poet
Never said that I could rhythm and rhyme.

Never claimed to be some kind of beautiful
Never claimed that I could dance.
Never claimed that I would ever be thin enough
To fit into your size of pants!

Never meant to show you any bad in me
Never meant to do that at all.
Always meant to shine the light of Christ
But I have seemed to taken a sinful fall.

Always meant to stay on the right road
Always meant to pray and be good you see.
Never meant for you ever to witness
That other side of me.

But I know that you’re a good and Godly friend
That will prop me up when I am down.
And turn my life back towards Christ
The man who died with my sins thorn filled crown.
