But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. – Psalm 3:3 (ESV)
sun’s morning rays
lift eyelids awake
new day…i’m alive
open book of life
your words lift spirit
illuminate my mind
my body, a temple,
lift legs higher; time
to move lively now
thanks before meal
lift voice in prayer
given food for life

Well done as always, Lynn! No doubt your poem could be expanded beyond the quadrille form to include more ways God lifts us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually throughout our lives. That verb “lift” might deserve further meditation. Thank you for the inspiration!
