PRAYER
Father, Mother , God ,
Thank you for your presence
During the hard and the mean days .
For then we have you to lean upon
Thank you for your presence
During the bright and sunny days ,
For then we can share that which we have
With those who have less.
And thank you for your presence
During the Holy days , for then we are able
To celebrate you and our families
And our friends.
For those who have no voice ,
we ask you to speak
For those who feel unworthy ,
we ask you to pour your love out
in waterfalls of tenderness.
For those who live in pain ,
We ask you to bathe them
In the river of your healing .
For those who are lonely,
we ask you to keep them company .
For those who are depressed,
We ask you to shower upon them
The light of hope
Dear Creator, You , the borderless
Sea of substance, we ask you to give to all
The world that which we need most – Peace .
- Maya Angelou
...You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise....
