Okay, so Dr. Berg also asked us to write our own poem after we reviewed some of the Puritan poems. Here is mine and a short introduction that will hopefully help to explain where I was coming from a little bit.
My poem is kind of short but I tried to think about how a Puritan would think, of thanking God for daily things. I added a modern twist. I am not the best at poetry but I tried to just think about different daily things that I am thankful for, small stuff like my curling and big stuff like my family.
Carrie’s Blessings
Each dawn I wake up in a soft, warm bed
With curtains wide and sun bright
I face the new day that waits ahead
My God has blessed me with His light
I wake and primp and prepare for the day
These new contraptions are such a joy
What did they do before Mary Kay?
My curling iron is my favorite toy
I walk into my closet and rummage through
I make up my mind and pick out some clothes
Then its downstairs to decide on the shoes
Can’t forget to polish those fingers and toes
God has blessed me with a mom, a dad, and my brother
They work hard every day to build their success
We continue to cherish and love one another
God is the greatest, who would attest?
