I, like Theocrite,*
Have meant to praise You
Day and night;
But worldly cares get in the way.
I find now as I kneel to pray
I've neglected You
The whole long day.

I praise You now with gratitude,
Forgive me Lord, if I've been rude.
I know that You will be still be here,
As I offer up my earnest prayer.
I, like Theocrite
With humble thanks,
Praise You tonight.

Joyce:  A very sweet prayer and I'm sure it was well received by Him.

I believe that you just did (praise Him) with this your tender heart and these words of humble thanks.  Lovely.  -Bob

Joyce~
A wonderful piece of inspired poetry~

He should hear us through day
Sing of Him in praising way
Again at night, prayerfully
Praise for all He's done for thee~

Thank you for sharing~
