Poem
Lord let me walk more gently and quietly today Down this road of life you’ve placed me on. Give me the strength and courage to smile in the face of adversity Knowing the worst that could happen to me is death Which is far from the end of life because it is our true home Where You reside and the birthplace from which all creation originates. Give me the presence of mind to focus not on past or future time But on the eternity of now which is the ever-present magical moment You give us always and forever to contemplate The miracle of creation of all that is seen and unseen Throughout the infinite universe. Let me fully appreciate the incomprehensible gift of awareness You’ve provided which allows me to See the wonders of the world at large; Feel the soft sand beneath my feet while walking near the water’s edge; Smell the sweet scent of gardenias on a moonlit summer night; Touch the face of a mountain as I climb; Hear the symphonic sounds of Mozart, Beethoven and Bach and Taste cherries, grapes, lemons and limes freshly picked from tree and vine. Lord, teach me to forgive those who offend me and how to be non-judgmental Knowing that I too, have flaws and idiosyncrasies And the need to continually polish the rough stone of my own imperfections. Lastly Lord, Let me love like there’s no tomorrow because there is no tomorrow And help me to reach heaven here on earth By opening my heart, mind and eyes and seeing The deep-seated intrinsic value of what everything and everybody is worth. Amen
