A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost

You Raise Me Up



My Precious Savior
I come this Thanksgiving Day
on bended knee in search of the words
my thankfulness to convey

Your love I daily feel
the strength to me you give
that carries me day to day
through which I richly live

My family of which I treasure so
that brings me such joy and happiness
To hear a grandchild show their love
with 'Mom can Nana come home with us'

My Friends... oh how special ...
they are the rock I lean so heavily upon
With out their love and strength
Some days I'm not sure I could go on.

I pray Poppa and Bill you know
how very much you are missed
It is because of you I am who I am
and that this family has been so blessed

When I sit at the Thanksgiving table
with family all around
I pray our precious protectors know
how what they do so astounds.

It is because of these things
I must remember makes my life a full cup
I humbly give thanks today
Because You All Raise Me Up

A very wonderful tribute to God, friends and family
It seems most of man kind is never satisfied, the more they have the more they want
I wish people could just see the bigger picture, and enjoy life and all it has to offer
If you have your health, family, food on the table, a loving partner and a roof over your head, you have it all
I enjoyed this write
Thanks your friend Ray

Good poem, thank you for you submission.

I like the personal aspect of the poem. You used inverted structure repeatedly throughout the poem, which takes away from the reading a little, but still very good.

Only problem - it is impossible to read with singing in the background.
