"This poem was inspired by a beautiful Prayer by Francis of Assisi. For 53 years it has hung on a plaque on our kitchen wall and I read it every day. " The Poet
G’day my Lord, today I have a lot to ask.
I have really set quite a task.
For all those that have contrition,
Please instill some human juxtaposition.
Where you see cruelty there needs to be kindness.
Please remove all racial blindness.
Any bigotry, there should be acceptance of difference.
If there is doubt, please instill faith by your magnificence.
Where consolation is sort,
Please deliver care and support.
When despair is present, hope is needed.
Acceptance of the Good Book should be heeded.
When there is lack of understanding,
Misinterpretations need disbanding.
If regret and guilt for sins has hardened.
Please offer the means in which to be pardoned.
When weakness is a problem, offer strength.
Create joy where there is sadness at any length.
When war abounds with no release,
Please my sweet Lord, let there be peace.
When only receiving, teach the joy of giving.
If only hatred, Lord, bring love to all that are living.
When darkness overwhelms, let there be light.
Dear God I implore you to set everything right.
For those that are near the end and feel strife.
Let them realize that in dying there is eternal life.
