Flowery words may tickle the ears; even delight the person who hears.
Flowery words are not what I choose, if you desire to just be amused.
For I am truly not a poet my friend, and poetry is not my ultimate end.
Poetry is simply my chosen venue, this to share God’s Truth with you.

The words of men who went before, these are the words I underscore.
They may not be the poet’s choice, but they echo that important voice,
That one who spoke words of Life, The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Words echoed today for you and I, and this long after our Savior died.

Words of Truth are what I impart, hoping to comfort or change a heart.
Changing souls one heart at a time, for this is Christ’s humble design.
His words are not meant to enthrall, but be a hope and comfort for all.
The words not meant to entertain, but address the issue of sin’s stain.

I will continue to write as I’m moved, for friend I have nothing to prove.
And friend you have nothing to lose, as it is His Truth that you choose.
His words of Truth are tried and true, the words that I share with you.
My friend, the end of each poem, for me, is one page closer to home.

It is simply a poem at the start, but then The Spirit moves in my heart,
And The Spirit’s words fill my pen, with The Savior’s hope for all men.
As I echo all these men of the past, it is a Hope that will eternally last.
When I enter my heavenly abode, a place above I’ll forever call Home.

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation, Bob Gott

Great poem. I liked this one really well because it expressed your true emotion of your writing. And I, like you, start out with a line and then the Spirit takes control. The only sad thing is that unless you share your poems elsewhere, the main ones who read it here are Christians who already know the Goespel. Ever thought of putting your work into a self-made book and giving it to people who are not yet saved? Just a thought.

Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!!

You hit the nail right on the head, Bob. You definitly share the good news so well in rhyme. I used to hate when someone's comment on mine was that it rhymes nicely. It was like they missed the entire message. Your strong true informative messages rhyme very well :-) You're a poet in my heart, for sure.
