Thank you, Lord, for this glorious day
there isn't much for which I’ll pray:
just guide my steps so I won't stumble
and when I do, help me stay humble;
may I look upon my brother’s face
without contempt, but rather, grace;
help me, Lord, lose the desire
for things that would me make a liar;
guard my children and my spouse,
bring them safely back to my house;
in every instance, may I stay grateful
may my actions and words, never be hateful;
may everything I say and do
demonstrate I belong to you;
this life is a gift I can never repay,
so thank you, Lord, for this glorious day. [Written for #OpenLinkNight - at www.dversepoets.com - come share your poetry!]
