Prayer (For Isaac and Miriam)
This poem has been over ten years in the making, but it has only come together properly in the past couple of weeks. It was written as a response to our church poetry group theme of 'Prayer'. And this is my prayer for my children. I hope it resonates, and you're also more than welcome to lay claim to it!
Prayer
(For Isaac and Miriam)
May you be strong and independent
May you always know your mind
May you always make good choices
But most of all, be kind.
May you always love the person you are
May you find it easy to unwind
May you always know where home is
But most of all, be kind.
May you work hard at a job you love
May you avoid the daily grind
May you never find yourself in need
But most of all, be kind.
May you always stand up for what is right
May you never be undermined
May you have true friends who have your back
But most of all, be kind.
May you be brave, but never foolish
May you leave your fears behind
May you soar and shine and change the world
But most of all, be kind.
May you know Christ as your saviour
May you seek, and may you find
May you bless others, as you've been blessed
But most of all, be kind.
May you bring freedom to the captives
May you bring sight to the blind
May you ensure that love is active
But most of all, be kind.
