Topic: COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS (Don't write about the song) (04/16/15)
Give thanks always
Animals feel and show
Dogs wag their tails
Do tell God how you feel

In everything give thanks
Big mercies small mercies
Rejoice Be you thankful
This is the will of God

Remember to thank Him
When prayer is answered
Don’t cross off and add more
Turn back and say Thank You

Praise Him for loving grace
He pours His grace on all
Think of the good old days
He bless us all the way

Thank Him and praise the Lord
For life we live below
For life we'll live above
Never cease to give praise

Bless His name O my soul
Every hour of the day
Lest we forget his amazing grace
Always guiding, leading


From the depths of my heart
My indebtedness I express
Too great for me to pay
Not in words not in works


Yes, Your love touches me
Your richest grace recall
I'd praise You with a thousand tongues
If You fulfil this wish of mine


I want to be a joyful soul
Let me lift up other people
I will affirm what they are good
Let me cheer them with my thumb-ups

I want to be a grateful guy
Let me list out all my blessings
I want to be amazed by them
Let me dwell on what I do have


I want to be a thankful chap
Let me serve you-- without reserve
I want to be a light that shines
To curse the dark, and light Your world

This is quite lovely. You did a nice job of highlighting all of the many blessings of life. I'm not a poet expert, but I'll point out one thing I noticed. In the beginning, the voice was the impossible, I'd you because you were talking to the read. Give thanks is implied You give thanks. Next you switched to the plural first person (we), and in the end to singular (me). You may want to keep the voice consistent throughout. In the forums, Jan recently did three lessons on voice in her thread, Jan's Writing Basics. Overall, I think you did a nice job. You definitely were on topic and delivered a lovely message. It's something we can all relate to and learn from. Nice job.
