The Prayer of the Outsider

The Prayer of the Outsider (A little old lady whispers all alone in the cold. Looking up at the rain filled sky.) Dear God You brought me to life from nothing To try to do something To share kindness Compassion and a light for those in the dark To follow Then to return home with stories When my bell you ring To hear me stand and sing aloud In the Holy Circle About all the things I did when I was once alive In the living gardens of mankind So keep giving me strength to keep doing so As I go Amen (C) Copyright John Duffy Foundation of the piece. In a new society slowly receding away from praying, do those who still pray, only come from the expected backgrounds? Example. The more mature generation.
