Poems: Life and Shield Me, O Lord by Diana Cain

Life 

To experience life,
Is such a great blessing.
To live throughout all the years,
Phase and sessions.
Life is a gift given
To our enjoyment of living,
Living freely without measure.
And to live with much pleasure.
To live and to breath
Is such a blessing to me.
To just exist,
God granted us this.
To be able to feel
Is a dream ever so real.
To taste; touch and smell
Is a blessing all to well.
Life is precious as a lost stone
And remains all on its own.
It’s here for the taking
And time does the making.
So enjoy this precious gift today
“Life”
Live it,
In a most special way.

Shield Me, O Lord

Let my life be not in vain,
Let me go not asunder.
But shield me, O Lord, from the rain,
And from the roaring thunder.
Shield me from a sinful life
And from an evil host,
And shelter me, O Lord, Jesus Christ,
To the uttermost.
Shield me in your loving grace,
Shield me from all wrong,
And take me to that hiding place
Which covers me all day long.
Shield my heart and my mind.
Shield this mortal flesh,
And let my light forever shine.
My soul eternal blessed.
Shield me in Your loving wings
Into Your holy hands,
That I may always joyfully sing,
To You, the God of Abraham.
