What I Can't Write

Experts say write what you know
I can't write if that be so
much of life I've yet to plumb
much to taste ere I succumb...
I can't write of giving birth
what pulls flowers out of earth
how it feels to ride a bull
which is better: push or pull.

I can't write how good it feels
baking prize blue-ribbon meals
how God makes a katydid
what it's like to hug your kid...
how it feels to be a cop
climb Mount Everest to the top
how the Lord puts up with me
when you read this, what you see.

I can't write of how God cries
when we fail Him, still He tries
gives us all a second chance
starts the music, says let's dance!
these are all things I can't write
I'm just not that erudite
so I hope to write with ease
fantasies pulled from the breeze.

"But God hath chosen
the foolish things of the world
to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen
the weak things of the world
to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world,
and things which are despised,
hath God chosen,
yea, and things which are not,
to bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory
in His presence."
 
(I Corinthians 1:27-30 KJV)
