Word Challenge Wednesday

Last week, Tammy at Art and Inspirations started a weekly word challenge.

Her first post contained word scrambles; and this week, the challenge is to write a poem using any of the following words:

hand, bird, bless, sea, wind, sunshine, sky, has, blue, back, tree, fly, sail, little, sing, were, the, at, are, childhood, nature, see, be, believe, sail, lift, boat, have, harbor, shore, big, gray, sit, yellow, window, red, you, we, nest, water, is, leaf, been, swim

I decided to accept the challenge so I wracked my brain for hours and came up with the following poem entitled See, Hear, Believe

When your days seem gray,
as they sometimes do

You must open your eyes
to what's in front of you

Don't forget the many blessings
we are given each day
Little things that are forgotten
when we forget to pray

God's handiwork is seen in a
sky of blue;

in a leaf from a tree

and the sunshine, too.

We can hear His voice in the birds
that sing;
in the winds that blow, in the bells
that ring.

When you see and hear and believe
it to be true.
You will know great joy all

the day through.

It was nice to stretch myself a bit. Writing poems used to come so much easier. My brain really had a workout this evening. So on that note, I am off to bed. Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.

Friendship blessings, Tammy
