Guide us in caring for water and air
for earth and each other. Thank you for crops
you raise to feed each life, for weather fair
and foul, showing energy never stops,
but challenges senses to stay in touch
with Great Reality. When we fear life
and death or poverty, struggle to clutch
all matter, show us what matters. Our sight
clouds so quickly. Our minds hide from our hearts.
Only your invisible hand, it seems, will
touch and clear our path, ease our plight. What starts
as thought or feeling moves to action. Still
it all begins and ends with unseen caress
of your spirit guiding us, whispering “Bless…”
