Prayer For The World

 

May the world’s eyes see
respect past the fall of grace.

May the world’s tongues speak
truth beside the rise of dawn.

May the world’s hearts beat
hope in the horror of war.

May the world’s feet march
compassion on hero’s graves.

May the world’s arms reach
wisdom outside veil’s nightfall.

May the world’s breasts leak
gratitude to feed the poor.

May the world’s soul seek
faith in eternal white light

So the world’s hands hold love
when sometimes a prayer will do!
