Wednesday, 01 November 2006 - The right words

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for the right words.

Words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson

It's evening and I am still searching for the right words. You know the ones.


The words that will state my intentions - perfectly.
The words that will describe how I feel - exactly.
The words that will express my opinion - precisely.

The words that will launch a new poem, one well-written sentence or the next great American novel.

The words that are dancing on the tip of my tongue and teasing the tips of my fingers.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
