A Simple Village Prayer
Dear God -
walk with us
slowly, slowly
through greying lanes
on quiet heels
in white-washed Spring -
and hear us sing -
Saint Sampson’s
loving lines …
please paint
the verge-side lilies
bright! - on lovers please
shine starlight bright! -
and hem our beckoning
golden shores
with billowing flags -
and tri-colors!
please set within
our fishing nets
our suppers’ fishes -
fat and wet!
(for country folk eat hearty!)
and share with all
our village pride
our welcoming embrace
make new-found friendships
banish fear, as we prepare
our pretty Summer Fete
this year - this - year
make red post-boxes
BURST with only ever-joyous news!
please swell our gardens’ harvests
(and our Honesty Boxes, too …)
and may this place
be Heaven-blessed.
‘God Bless’ - ‘God Bless’
To EVERYONE
To ALL who come
To ALL who rest
‘God Bless'
'GOD BLESS’
