Intimidated - Ode to be a poet - lesson

Okay, I was TRYING to write something lyrically profound about the wind but then read some Carl Sandburg..........and I wondered about my place in this world.

I can see the art of God in every ant, every blade of grass, every cloud. But, when I read words that adequately paint the pictures of God's work I cannot even think of words to say. It is like thinking about walking while enjoying the thrill of riding a roller coaster. I am impressed, thankful, and intimidated.

Fortunately, children show me that I have a gifting writing lesson plans. Maybe my downfall was that I was researching to write something of the heart...okay, so I LOVE researching. That must be what lesson plans are about.
