A Writers Prayer

By Paul McCann .

.

Thank you Lord for the gift to compose words and music

and the inspirations that I write .

.

I have dedicated my life to this

and I hope my efforts are pleasing in your sight .

.

For many years I have tried to share my works

and continue to work at this day and night .

.

Spirit filled I have no room for negativity

for there is only positive light .

.

Lord there are many who do not understand

or support what I do . I was born to write .

.

You have always been there

and that’s what makes everything right .

Lord never be far from my sight.

These are beautiful lyrics Paul! Can you play music? Instruments piano, guitar, harmonica and which? The idea of a one man band always fascinated me, cymbels drums too, like in "Mary Poppins" this guy is a one man band. Although usually I think they come out just a noise.

I think I could write some lyrics myself but not music although I love listening to good music. Bob Dylan, the Doors, Van Morrison, Elvis, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Suzi Quattro, Joan Jett. It says a lot about you what music you like.

Most of us pray very well when we have to.

Keep well! Tom Brown

Thanks for this comment Tom .Your list of artists is very impressive . Writers with pathos and passion who have composed songs that speak from the depths of soul .   

Yes I play the guitar and have been writing songs now for about 40 years . At this moment I'm in the studio recording a new album called The Storyteller . Hope to have that finished in the next few weeks the album has 10 original songs   . I have been blessed to have some talented friends who have helped me to put arrangments to  these songs  

Kind regards

Paul

It's Tom Brown not JP! Don't worry I get confused myself sometimes! Great to hear you are a musician, I thought later of Bob Dylan I have some live shows of his on DVD. He does the harmonica and guitar at the same time and both brilliant as ever, really very impressive. Not really a showman the music speaks for itself. But as allways the old stuff is best. What a guy.

Cheers Paul! Tom Brown

For what you said I appreciate , sorry for getting mixed up with your name Tom 

I have a friend who did a show called Tangled Up With Bob ,

The show was a tribute to Bob Dylan and his songs . A brilliant show .

No doubt Bob was and still is a great guy .

I also like Donovan as well . Colours and Catch The Wind are my favourites .

Kind regards 

Paul
