Poem: Thank God for My Life

Lord, make things right

For you gave me a great life

Let me not waste time

Set me free, from hate and strive

As I dance slow and nice

To the songs that uplift, I & I life

Calm the raging ocean

Great meditation—soothe lives

Coal, frankincense, and myrrh

Clear the air, let me breathe

Gently throughout the day

Throughout the night

Calm the atmosphere,

Mellow rhythm

At the ‘wee hours, let me smile

Lord, make things right

I ask, I plead—forgive us

When we do not know

When we’ve not done, what’s right.
