A Prayer: Thank You God

A Prayer: Thank You God.

Thank you, God, for this day
Not only for this do I pray.

But to use it a beneficial way.
Mindful of your everlasting say. 

Letting me not be so far astray.
As not to hear I love you always.

Your light a shining golden ray.
Keeping the devil away.

My soul is stronger than clay.
knowing hate does not pay.

May I in blessedly sleep lay
Having said to many evils nay.

All Glory to his name.
