If I could glory you all the day
I would glory you in everyway
Glory, glory be thy stay
Glorious is your light
Keep the dark away from me
Lift me up and let me breathe
Glory, glory I do see
Glorious is your light

I kneel and receive your message
As you light up my passage
In a world so very ravaged
Glorious is your light
Satan is here and that's a fact
Evil lurks in his godless cracks
But your light shows how we fight back
Glorious is your light

Save me in these dark times
Of senseless deaths and shocking crimes
Why do they still look for a sign
Glorious is your light
If I could glory you all the day
I would glory you in everyway
Glory, glory be thy stay
Glorious is your light

I live in the great State of Mississippi, I was born in India; my father was American and my mother English. I was educated in Australia when my father was on mission to the Australian heathen and I have lived for the past 40 years in the U.S. I will be nearly 70 soon and life has traveled by in a blink. I believe greatly in the power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and his teaching. Amen.

	I just LOVE this poetry site. I have now found life-long friends like Daphne, Sir Allonby and Fred. I am so happy, it's like I've been re-born. I take my poetry very seriously and hope to have my own poetry book published one day, with the title - 'walking with goats'. Please read and exalt me if you deem me worthy. Thank you all.

Pardon me for re-jigging this poem. It might look better with shorter lines, although I can't find any rhymes in it. Is this what they refer to as 'free verse'?

''I live in the great State of Mississippi, I was born in India;
my father was American and my mother English.
I was educated in Australia when my father was on mission
to the Australian heathen and Ihave lived for the past 40 years in the U.S.
I will be nearly 70 soon and life has traveled by in a blink.
I believe greatly in the power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and his teaching.
Amen.''
