Thoughts
Don’t hold the pen so tightly
It’s not going anywhere
If you’ll loosen your grip slightly
It eliminates some of the fear
Just express yourself politely
Use the thought that’s presently near
Or say it quite contritely
But please keep your true message clear
You can use the pen to tell stories
Lament and testify
You can give God all his due glories
And find your souls true eye
Or just pen something funny
It’s really such a breeze
You could write about a bunny
Speaking in Portuguese
Give your thoughts some freedom
When you sit down to write
They’ll go right where you lead them
Taking instant flight
Thoughts are just like babies
You don’t know where they’ll go
Filled with wondrous maybes
Sit back and watch them grow
Point them in the right direction
And let them choose their path
Soon you’ll have a collection
Both for crying and a laugh
Entirely your own selection
You don’t even need any math
Your thoughts are your own
But they may be on loan
Be diligent with your craft
