Just Write by Steph Beth Nickel

 


i have no time to write
i say
my work is piling up

i have no time to write
i say
life overflows my cup

Just write!

i have no time to write
i say
with family, friends, and more

i have no time to write
i say
with all that is instore

Just write!

i have no time to write
i say
the days are marching on

i have no time to write
i say
another week is gone

Just write!

i have no time to write
i say
so much else to do

i have no time to write
i say
but is it really true

Just write!

i do have time to write
i say
i'll focus day or night

i do have time to write
i say
and tell myself...

Just write!

  3. Amen, dear Steph. We always have time for what we make time for. Though there are seasons to step away and rest, the time to write only happens when we "Just write!"
    Well done. Blessings.
