O God Be Praised

O God Be Praised

The Poetry of Elizabeth M.

Original Poetry composed and read by Elizabeth M.

The quality of mercy is not strained
It droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven
And of this I speak:
When I grow tired and want to quit and move no more from where I sit
Please God give me courage to continue to the end of my promised menu
And live to the last—these blessed days
In this fair land. O God be praised!
