When the Tides of Life Roll

When The Tides Of Life Roll (Anaphora) When morn awakes by the bluebirds trill When the robin songs echo on the hill When the tides of life run against you When your dream rainbow is shining through When again the dim hope lamp burns When hopeful once again world peace returns When crazy foolish tensions fill the day When it is time to pause and pray When the winter wiped away its frozen gloom When again the glorious spring flowers bloom When spring is showing all it’s glory When nature is telling it’s timeless story When your love is held by a strong cord When your faith is blessed by the Lord When your guiding light does forever stay When you shall walk the glorified way When spring flowers bloom so bright and gay When sunshine beauty blesses summers way When autumn struts proudly across the land When everything looks so colorful and grand When the tides of life roll do not grieve When you know that heaven provides all the need Erich J.Goller Copyright 10. 20.2011

Erich, this reminds me of a list poem. I used to have my students do them. For example, they would have to use a beginning phrase over and over in each line, such as "in the fall. ...." or "when it's dark..." I think this kind is so cool!
