Eureka! I have found it! :-)


...and with it, i will change my world...

Through unknown territory,
in a world fraught with peril,
I take my weapon in hand
and with it, I will change my world.

                          Creating beauty where there is ugliness.
                          Creating serenity where there is war,
                          I can change my world with a stroke of a pen,
                          The pen, truly, is mightier than the sword.

Through those scary, stormy nights,
and days of blistering heat,
I take my weapon in hand
and with it, control weather.

                           Creating a safe haven from any storm,
                           Creating perfect conditions all year 'round,
                           I can change my world with a stroke of a pen,
                           The world of poetry is my new playground.

Through days of incessant pain,
When it doesn't.  Go.  AWAY,
I take my weapon in hand
and write my own prescription.

                           Creating comfort on those days I need rest,
                           Creating health where there was none before,
                           I can change my world with a stroke of a pen,
                           The pen, truly, is mightier than the sword.

This reminds me of St Francis Make ma a channel of your peace.
Which is also one of my favorite hymns.

Second stanza is well written, by way of being able to change things of ugliness in to things of beauty...

I take my pen in my hand and write my own prescription.

The final stanza is positive and so full of faith....

Took me along time here but i agree the pen is mightier than the sword. Has taken the pen and released pain so many times,,
Keep that pen at your bedside and use it instead of a pill
enjoyed this
