My Pen Is Singing

By Janice Harris

When you find yourself you will find your destination. Stop trying to copy anyone else. You have a purpose in this world. You are just what you were meant to be. The original, branded with the mark of the Father.
Staying positive in a world that is full of negativity is sometimes hard to do. In this book I try to capture goodness. Glimpses of light reflect through the pages. Singing notes of cheer and hope. Playing music, jumping from the pages, that soothes the soul.
I found myself and long to share with others the gift of encouragement, motivation, and inspiration. Being able to express yourself is a feat of itself. Taking hold of words that express and embody life is my passion. My Pen is Singing gives a look at my view of pressing forward.

Be uplifted.

My Pen is Singing

2.jpg

My pen echoes a melody as I move my hand

The sounds that emerge from each stroke form a band

The band is playing loudly as the strokes go faster

Words echoing sounds of laughter

The beat is catchy and full of life

My pen keeps swaying words that live

Faster and faster across the paper it goes

With each stroke melodies galore

My pen is singing songs of joy

My pen is creating words that soar

Strum, Strum, Strum, to the pen beat

Swaying across the music sheet

The pen keeps writing and creating beats

Playing cords of laughter across the sheets

My pen beats on and on

Words of life… .
