A prayer

I pray with tears held back by my jaw.


joy, relief, hope
today brings a new beginning,
everyone in this world can belong
get along.... better ....

I pray that thoughtful leadership breaks
the jail of prejudice and creates bonds
acceptance, hand and hand,
everyone hold on.

I pray that a child who is innocent
can face a future when the time for
understanding comes
a future that is less selfish
and more cooperative to get things done.

I pray that you and I
and he and she
and they come together with the goal
that we are one nation, one world, one mankind
with the ability to laugh, love and cry.
