A Thanksgiving Prayer

by upnorthdavid

With humbled hearts, Our Father, we come to you this day, Expressing heartfelt gratitude for blessings sent our way * We ask you to forgive us for thoughtless word and deed: Those times when self or arrogance your kingdom did impede * We pray your help to lift a friend who shadowed by some need: With faltering step is struggling: it's on his behalf we plead. * May our hands be like yours to each soul we touch today: Your help, your hope, your comfort shown in all we do and say * May golden words of healing upon our lips be found Our tongues the ministers of peace where hatred does abound * This generous outpouring; the love that you have showed: Our lives are overflowing with the goodness you've bestowed * We praise your name forever, on you we do depend, We're thankful only, alway, to You, our God, our Friend * © Copywritten by David C Rogers 2018

David grew up in Mexico. He brings a unique perspective to life in rural Michigan. Most of his poems are written spontaneously, as things catch his attention or humor him. Some of his pieces are lighthearted while others broach deeper subjects. Coffee, DIY projects, and writing are his passion. Most his poems are structured, but he does enjoy writing free verse writing from time to time.
