Inspired by the Psalms 34:1-4:

I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice. O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears....

MY SPIRIT SINGS Almond eyes speak: "Take me home please-- bonnie green fields where I may wander, chasing butterflies and darting dragonflies dearly gazing to blue and orange streak skies. Everyday, I will find some daffodils fixing and tucking one to my ear, grin painted on my face as I look hungrily to praise and thank you, God! Interred two years ago by mistake, justice and joy, I yearn to feel, kneeling everyday, praying unto God: "Listen to me O tender God and don't leave" Merciful Father heard, He blessed me saying: "Now Son, be fruitful and multiply", I amble-- obedient me to sunny walks down winding roads, persistent to bear the given loads, quicker to maneuver from danger's path, reflexive instincts working double time! Seeking God's wisdom to always guide me, taking time to read the Bible everyday, understanding: "Man shall not live on bread alone... Vexed and pressed by a truckload of trials but whom shall I fear when God is my light and salvation. Xenacious I, excited, wanting to do it in an instant! Yes Lord! Yes Lord! Yes! Yes, Lord, Amen. Zealous is my heart and spirit as I sing! _______________________________________________________ ***xenacious means filled with yearning for change..

Olive-Eloisa!! This is a most positive and wonderful write. The "abecedarian" format worked very well with this particular write. A "7" + FAV!! Could you tell me please, where did you find the word "xenacious" at?? It sounds like a quite rare word. Being a linguist who is adept in several languages, I have a rather large vocabulary of words, but I've not yet run into this word. I have a number of linguistic rare word book, but I can't find this word. (I'm just interested!) Cheers and Best, Gary

The words are descriptive and float onto the page with a steady hand and a brilliant wit that captures the reader's imagination and attention from the beginning and delivers to the end. Emile.
