Paradise Call

Pampered like a child, Lord, your grace
Abounds in my heart; and on my face,
Reverence for you beams with gratitude
Affording me with a humble attitude.
Demonstrating your eternal blessing
Imbuing in me a warm ethereal feeling 
Soliciting solace and heavenly happiness
Eliminating my worldly woes and stress;

Come, when I walk through a dark valley
And flounder in shadows and back alley,
Light up my life with faith, love and hope
Lord, give me courage and strength to cope.

To me, very few Acrostics make poetic sense, but sure this one's different, and a worthy winner, congrats
