I set down the words
In first person
Or try to
In first person
Or try to
Not because I think I am important
Or I have something important to say
It’s just the way the words come
And I’m just fine with that
I don’t want to claim
I speak for anyone else
With some universal insight
I’m not that important
Though… the words are, I think
Still, they’re not always mine
The words, they are often a gift
From some wise source
Much greater than I
If there is a talent in those posts
It is that I hear the words
Then assemble the meanings
With their intended grace
The harder task
The so much harder task
Is to live by them
That is the one universal truth
I personally propose
