Thank You

Another beautiful day has come to a close
 
 putting on my royal blue silken pajamas
 
I call to my sweet one
 
come take hold of my outstretched hand.
 
We bow our heads and thank Him.
 
Lord thank you for another terrific day
 
for allowing the sun to rise up and shine 
 
thank you for warm gentle breezes
 
that allowed us to fly our kites
 
bringing so many bubbly smiles on our children
 
Thank you dear Lord for the flowing stream
 
and the wildflowers we saw along the way
 
in our hunt for frogs and turtles.
 
Thank you Lord for the food that we ate
 
and the air that we breathed.
 
 It was such an exhilarating day.
 
Thank you Lord for all the joy you bring
 
the song of love you allow me to sing
 
Thank you for bringing into my life
 
a most beautiful soul,
 
 for gorgeous and happy children,
 
and for making our lives whole

So much to be grateful for dear Lord 

but none of my humble words 

are ever enough to praise you. 

Dear Lord 

It's my time to beg now 

So dont go away just yet 

I beg you for forgiveness 

for any harm I might have caused 

to my sister, or my brother 

to my working colleagues or any other 

I beg forgivness for all the times 

 I choose the pleasure of darkness 

over what is really the bright side of life. 

Dear Lord, make men better husbands 

and make me a good wife. 

Dear Lord I beg you

  let not envy, power, success nor selfishness 

steal the purpose of my living
 
and of what is right. 

Make me a better person Lord

Help me choose You as my guide 

Let me be a faitful being 

to those who are in burden 

Help me to do little things everyday 

little things that make a difference 

to those i love, and those who pass my way 

Let me be a lending ear
 
Let my smile relieve some pain 

Let me be at least one colour of the rainbow 

in their loneliness, in tearful rain 

Dear lord may those I meet in every street 

recognize I am Your own, not from my words 

but from my kindred deeds 

Last but not least, fill my heart with blissful grace 

as I share this serene night 

with the one you chose for me 

the one who has the most angelic face.

Together Lord we thank you

Beautiful Poem! Often I feel I don't sit and thank God for all her has blessed me with enough. I felt like, when reading your poem, it helped me focus on how blessed I am, and how much I am truly grateful for. Thank you

This is not poem of the day or week. It is poem of the century. We need to create a new category. There is one thing that you need though. An introduction. Why did you write this great poem? What was your object? To me, the most important word in poem is "TOGETHER." If we can just akd God to help us get it together then will end up together. Jim Horn

When two or more are gathered . . . your voices merged into one beautiful prayer -- heartfelt, sincere, honest . . . it filled my heart with love and so now I will add my voice to your prayer. Outstanding! 7, Fav

Lovely, you two. An awesome prayer. We often do a lot of asking and no thanking and even less praising. It's good to praise God for who He is...He character trains...love, mercy, justice, patience. This is a lovely piece. It's a prayer I need to pray. Hugs
