A Simple View

With every morning bright and clear

I thank God for this day sincere,

I know that I have naught to fear

His voice I hear, His voice I hear.

 

 

His canvas I behold in awe

six days it took and has no flaw,

as Spring rises from Winters thaw

my spirit soars, my spirit soars.

 

 

His creatures beat in rhythm true

I watch the sun catch morning's dew,

and in the skies there's clearest blue

all this I view, all this I view.

 

 

This dance of day has now begun

His music is compared to none

and even with the setting sun

His day's not done, His day's not done.

 

 

For then the stars and moon shine bright

giving hope to the darkest night,

protecting all with His great might

oh what a sight, oh what a sight.

    Very nice ...

    but you might want to fix the typo in line 7: "Winter's".

    Otherwise, good job.

    I really enjoy the Monotetra form...it lends itself to this prompt theme...it is lyrical by nature and makes me just want to break out and sing it ... wont frighten the neighbours but it is a must to be read aloud. The flow just eases off the page as the words form on your lips enhances the experienceyou have worked a brilliant piece of poetry and an excellent take on the prompt. Thank you. Bookmarking....
