Light Upon My Path

My God,
I thank you for your light
to shine upon my path this day.

May I see all whom I meet
   with your eyes, 
   with your compassion,
   with your empathy.

May I hear as you hear,
   act as you would act,
   speak as you would speak,
With all whom I meet this day.

May I get out of the way
so you can walk through me
   to do your will.

I give back to you 
   your gift of this day.
May I live these gifted hours
   as would you
Until sunset returns 
    another end of day.

My God
I thank you for your light
To shine upon my path.
