Pages, pages!
Lord give me pages
Effervescent sentences
That last through the ages

Lord, let me spin a web of words
That entrances all, like those I've heard
My heroes fought with pen not sword
Brandished rhymes​ against the hordes
Who would have slowly caused their deaths​
Boredom, not sword would have stolen their breath

Pages, pages!
Lord give me pages
Effervescent sentences
That last through the ages

Poetry, novels, short stories plays
Send the words upon which I graze
My food, my drink, the air I breathe
Words mean as much, so send them please
Not silver or gold, I have no greed
Let me feast on poetry, that's all that I need

Pages, pages!
Lord give me pages
Effervescent​ sentences
To ring​ through the ages

A writer's prayer
Is a simple one
He only wants to
Get his work done
