Oh, for manuscripts lost
I wonder what the cost
I must pay to get my story back
In time and content.
But when the manuscript is found,
A song of joy resounds
In my heart,
To replace my writer’s lament.
If I lose my manuscript
In the realm of cyberspace
Will I lose the story
Or Will God replace
My words with something better?
My protagonist, I can’t forget her
She fills my heart and soul
To take complete control
Of the story as I rewrite
The words both day and night,
To meet my self-imposed deadline.
Will I make it on time
Or Will God slow me down
To write a better story
And give Him all the honor and glory
He deserves?
As I change the world with my words
Lord, please protect my story
As I write it for Your glory
And give you honor and praise
For the rest of my days.
Amen
