M ay I make it my Life Message
A lways, each and every day,
Y our Praises that I sing aloud

T o the world, and on display.
H oly Father, Almighty One,
Y ou condescend to bless mankind,

G iving us Thy Precious Son
O h may this I e'er keep in mind!
O f the things I am and have
D are I claim them as my own?
N o, all my Gifts come from above
E ach reflect of the Love You've shown.
S oul and Savior come from Thee
S o I but to thy Goodness cling,

B ut for God, I would not be
E nergize me, Thy Praise to sing!

M y LORD, my life, my being all
Y ou entrusted to me, so free,

P raise be to Thy Matchless name
R ecieved now and eternally!
A lways and ever, each day I live
I seek that through all my ways,
S o clearly seen, my Gratitude to Thee
E videnced by Your non-stop Praise.

David; A magnificent acrostic praise poem! I am blessed to begin my day with these powerful and humble words of praise. You have written this with eloquence and beauty, as is your style and your heart. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

I love acrostic poems!  You did a wonderful job on something that's not simple.  Great job!  Nicely done.

David,

I think this acrostic is Great!!!

You have kept a good flow throughout your poem and you where able to rhyme as well as begin each line with a letter to spell out your message......"May Thy Goodness Be My Praise" and that alone is a wonderful message for us all.   God is so very-very good to us.  Bob <><
