When the sun rises from the east

I pray...

When a drought turns to rain, soaking the fields with life-giving water

I pray...

When crops spring from newly tilled earth

When meadows come alive with green and gold

When fruit and vegetable, greens and grain, line our tables this Thanksgiving

I pray...

When twilight edges into night and children are nestled, warm in slumber

I pray...

I pray...

For peace to wrap its loving arms around our Earth

I pray...

For guns to be replaced with embraces

For politics to help people, not focus on money and power

I pray...

For our planet, still suffering needlessly, to heal

For enlightenment to bring much needed change

I pray...

and it gives me hope.
