No poem unfortunately in print,

Though they are with hope sent,

They are for the world only meant,

Precious time was to write spent,

For the wasted energy I repent,

Of course I should never resent,

Maybe God hasn't given the consent,

Now encouragement may be absent,

I must never at all drop writing talent,

My progress, setbacks mustn't prevent,

I must be thoroughly always patient,

I am given will-power as a present,

By using it, I must make the ascent.

Soon I will smell peaceful glory's scent!
