In early American history, I often ask students to write a poem from the Puritan mind set.
A complete list of student poems is available.

Boy praying.

"As We Live Through Another Day"

by Leonard Stephenson

As we live through another day,
To the lord, with thanks we pray.
Helping bring our path to light,
helping choose between wrong & right.
Trusting in you, that you will provide,
and always be there at my side.
So as we bow our heads and pray,
thank you lord for one more day.
Don't worry I won't quit my day job.

The Puritans had a lot of faith and they really had trust in God. That was a major thing to the

Pilgrims when they prayed.

That was a very good poem and it really sounded good.
