In My Defense

Okay...in my defense let me say:
that I am a person who likes to write,
who enjoys a talent that God bestowed
for me to communicate both good and bad,
fact and fiction both happy and sad.


Okay, in my defense let me say:
that God uses bad situations brought on by the devil,
to turn it into something good, so others will see His glory.
I believe I can help others, called to serve others, 
give others a voice to reveal their feelings, 
as an aid to healing and moving on...


(Helping others is my moving on.
I promise to do it more carefully from now on.)


Okay, 
because my words and feelings are too honest,
too personal, too controversial to some I know, 
I WILL EDIT MY FEELINGS & HOLD MY TONGUE.


I will find that journal as a gift I once received,
and/or I will confess in prayers that only HE hears and sees.
I will go where I'm unknown and thus greater support abounds,
for I want to be a helper, but like Jesus, not on familiar grounds.


Because I love you and other close relationships,
since I respect you and you respect me, too,
I will keep my voice silent
and assume forgiveness is a reality.


The bottom line is I love you and will grant your wishes.
