PRAISE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: What song shall I sing to the heavens?
Last Line: Want to chant to the heavens praise for the gift and the glory.
Subject(s): Praise


WHAT song shall I sing to the heavens?
My heart is bounding with music:
I want to pour out my praise to the everlasting heights:
For the gift of life is apparent: as with wings I am lifted:
And the love of my heart goes forth to the ends of the Earth,
And I gather the folk in my arms, and for marvel of life
Want to chant to the heavens praise for the gift and the glory.
