So I say
a little prayer
for all of us to stay tough:
I pray for family;
those who are with us,
those who may not be much longer,
and those who have gone on to better
I pray for friends;
those who hold me when I need to be held,
those who I can hold,
and those who I want to but cannot
I pray for strangers;
those who are sick or hurting,
those who are in trouble,
those who are facing terrible choices
I pray for our Earth;
our home,
and our Source,
may she ever sing and provide for us
and we for her.
And always I pray:
May we have Strength;
like the willow
to bend in the storm,
but not break.
May we have Courage;
like the stone
to stand through the weathering
of time and the elements.
May we have Serenity and Hope;
like the slow river
to wind along its path
knowing it will reach the sea
in its perfect time.
Namaste.
Pass it on, if you feel so moved.
