Shine

I'm picking a word
Like a nickel in my pocket.
‎Well, maybe a penny,
‎No, let's pick a dime.

I'm looking for treasure
In sound and in meaning
And with help of my Jesus
I'll happily find.

So that glory would flow
To Him through a poem
Through a cumbersome phrase
Or unusual rhyme

Not a native performing
Acrobatic adventure.
Taming wonderful language
To see glorious shine.

Quite a tricky endeavor
When vocab is not stunning
Seeking ways to express
Awe and glory devine.

Let Him shine...
