The Prayer of Love

Give us lord a pleasant place:
a place where we can love,
where we can dance 
and share the rains and rainbow above 
to make our grains and gains  glow in abundance.

Give us lord a special space: 
A space where we can pray,
where we can sing 
and sweep dust and dross away
to make our hope and home a sweet scent’s spring .

Give us lord a friendly face:
A face where love will ring,
where peace will dance,
where smile and sounds will spring 
to make our hat and heart hop and prance.
