I write these words to God and him alone <br />Surveyor of my soul, my prince of peace <br />Who pours his blessings on my troubled soul <br />and grants forgiveness for my heart’s release <br /> <br />I’ve written poems for a woman’s love <br />I’ve written verse to stir the minds of men <br />I’ve written lines so that all who may read <br />will think I am a master of this pen <br /> <br />But just for now, I dedicate this page <br />to my creator, he who formed my life <br />He who’s grace and mercy I entreat <br />to ease my tribulation, stress and strife <br /> <br />A thousand pages could not hold the joy <br />I feel when I dwell on what I’ve received <br />Ten thousand notebooks never could contain <br />The peace he gives to those who do believe <br /> <br />Who could drop a verse tighter than God? <br />Who could write a rhyme to match his skill? <br />Who could rock a crowd like our Allah? <br />Who but God could write bars of free will? <br /> <br />I know no other spirit with his grace <br />He penetrates from flesh right through to bone <br />Surveyor of my soul, my prince of peace <br />I write these words to God and him alone<br /><br />Hiram Sims<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-psalm-15/
