KEEP OUR BABIES SAFE

Today’s blessing goes out to everyone 
but especially those who have the power 
and who must be willing
to stop the hate and prejudice and wars
and all the people you are killing.

To take a moment before you decide 
to stop and think that maybe
that person you are killing is still somebody’s baby:


May we be blessed to understand 
from the moment we first hold them in our arms….
It is up to do our best to keep our babies protected…safe 
and free from harm.

babies are a wonderful gift from the Divine--it's our job to protect them (especially their souls.)
