I Thank You God

Unlike the rest of these poems, this one is somewhat lively and positive, unlike the other depressing and remorseful poems. It's important to recognize that the capitalization of YOU is important. The author is emphasizing that he is thankful for his amazing day not because of who was in it but of God giving him this marvelous day. It sounds like someone who has been lifted and forgiven for a sin because the author talks about being born again, and now the ears of my eye awake and the eyes of my ear are opened. It's weird how this is put because it's completely flipped. It's very positive because it is the birthday of life and love and wings; this doesn't sound too sinister to me. For once, this person is finally seeing the light and being forgiven and relinquished from their sin. This might be a person who has finally accepted God and church into their life and is finally seeing life from a broader point of view. I can relate this to when I first started going to youth group and was open to the idea to having faith in God; I really see a lot of myself in this poem.
