Power of the pen

I never took to reading, writing I deplored. Could hardly string a sentence together and mumbled when I talked. But since I have seen the light my attitude has changed. I know the word is powerful, I know it cuts both ways. Gentle is the way to go to turn this ship around, to wait and watch its graceful flow scatter good seed on His ground. Now back to the pen, how does it compare? The spoken word is powerful but can vanish in thin air..The written word can gather dust, but that don't bother me,  I'm just here to do my bit, nothing to sleazy... It may hit its target, only heaven knows. So don't despair write it down, then go have a doze.
