Poem
Simple Prayer God whoever you are and wherever you may seem to be hiding in times situations and places when confusion reigns and I fail to see please grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference when the difference is all there is in me When you deliver the message that there is only one God please allow for lateral thinking collateral feelings tangential emotion Give us a source and an essence and Self and respect for others who have different faiths and names for you like Vishnu and Shiva Promote the Buddha and shelter him under the Bhodi tree’s calm the four noble truths and eightfold path and save us from crusades jihads genocides misguided power fanaticism and self-righteousness Make me the tool of your grace and freedom show me the light in the darkness and help me turn the other cheek when exploring middle ways of meditation compromise kindness love and compassion Please nurture passion and peace thoughts emotion social justice God whoever wherever whatever however you make faith and belief in a better world possible talk to me and my fellow minnows on this planet earth and let us dance sing paint pray and cherish together that seeming differences darken in evil steal humanity disguise one and only one human condition the one of love love and love Please let us and me not run against the proverbial wall of madness when things cannot be altered at the moment and direct us to the matters that matter because they can be changed with your strength Please teach me to look beyond the little me in the scheme of life and share the difference that serenity courage and wisdom can make 18th August 2016
