My Heavenly Father

I come to Him each day that I awake I ask Him that He keeps me safe from harm I thank Him for all the things that I take, For granted such as life without alarm He's given me so much in this great life He's healed me from so very many things When I'm with Him I'm saved from so much strife I sometimes feel as though I've angels wings His love envelopes me as I draw near He's taught me all the things that I have known With Him I know of faith instead of fear Each step that I'm with Him I've surely grown The future that I have with Him is bright The love that He gives me is my delight An english sonnet which this is has 14 lines an ababcdcdefefgg end rhyme and is written in iambic pentameter which is 10 syllable line with a soft hard beat.

Amen, you do well to praise our Father. I enjoyed your Sonnet. Have a read through line ten, the "I" does not fit, I believe you did not mean to place it there.
