Lord I Thank You Poem by D Loveday Morris

Lord I Thank You

Rating: 5.0


Lord I Thank You
For the gifts you've given me,
Ears to hear and eyes to see,
A perspective that's multi-dimensional,
And the humility to respect those of other dispositions
Oh, Lord I thank you

For the certainty of food on the table
Courage to go forward and the belief that I'm capable
Joy in my heart; smile on my face,
Power to light the world and a spirit constantly ablaze
Oh Lord I thank you

For the The ability to apply the knowledge of yesterday
And the possibilities in the gift of today;
Hope for the future filled with passion, promises and choices
Power to impact and defend those who haven't yet found their voices
Oh Lord, I thank you

For a heart to empower, hands to heal;
To touch, feel and taste all things real,
Insight to realise, that no matter our size,
All creation are equal and respected by one more powerful and all wise
Oh Lord I thank you

For health, strength and wealth;
And for forgiving my mistakes even the ones stealth;
Reassurance, when my spirit is drained and my mind is spent
For loving me and blessing me with dollars, humor and common sense
Oh Lord I thank you

Love of all sorts
Friends, family and a child who wears my heart
For the one whose ring I wear
And the tolerance, patience, love and care
Oh Lord I thank you

For the lessons learnt and the tears shed;
Understanding gained from those whom I've lead
Wisdom to acknowledge that you are sacred
And the peace to sleep and rest my thoughts on a comfortable bed
Oh Lord, I thank you

A heart full of gratefulness and love for the Lord Almighty. I concur with your wonderful thoughts. The generosity of the Lord must be reciprocated with thankfulness from the core of our hearts. Beautifully written. Five Stars!

Writing for the edification and glorification of the Lord Almighty is the hallmark of ingenuity. A beautiful devotional poem written with spiritual insight.
