Dear God, for the love of this World
- the cradle of Your creation -
Hear my prayer
Grant us patience
To nurture growth and goodness
Nourish the seeds that we sow
For future generations to be hold
Grant us the tolerance
In the rainbow of Your heavens
To celebrate the difference and diversity
In our universe
Grant us the courage
In the drumbeat of Your heart
To offer comfort and compassion
Watch the spirit swell with love
To the prisons of poverty
Let us bring the liberation of choice
To the tunnels of deception
Let Your guiding light lamp the truth
Where the World teaches her children
Share the lessons of my fading past
And where they dream of tomorrow
Set His feet on their path
For the love of this World
Hear my prayer
Dear God.

Pensive and poetic thoughts... I like the seeds for future generations; like planting trees, or making children, both supreme acts of faith!
