Songs of Praise

by adewpearl


I greet each day God's granted me
with songs of praise.
In choruses of jubilee,
I loudly raise
a psalm with jubilation's zeal
as bells in celebration peal
to glorify His gracious ways
with songs of praise.

I know it is by God's decree
the sun's ablaze,
that through His sacred mystery
it lights my days
and warms me with His kind embrace,
a gift of His unfailing grace.
So to each dawn my voice I raise
glad songs of praise.

Recognized


The octogram, recently devised by Fanstorian Sally Yocom, is a poem with two verses of eight lines each. The rhyme scheme is ABABCCBB ABABDDBB. The syllable count is 8/4/8/4/8/8/8/4 for each verse. The second line of verse one is repeated as a refrain in line 8 of verse one and line 8 of verse two. I have modified the final refrain by changing one word.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
