FOR OUR WORLD
We need to stop.
Just stop.
Stop for a momentý
Before anybody
Says or does anything
That may hurt anyone else.
We need to be silent.
Just silent.
Silent for a momentý
Before we forever lose
The blessing of songs
That grow in our hearts.
We need to notice.
Just notice.
Notice for a momentý
Before the future slips away
Into ashes and dust of humility.
Stop, be silent, and noticeý
In so many ways, we are the same.
Our differences are unique treasures.
We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts
To nurture, to offer, to accept.
We need to be.
Just be.
Be for a momentý
Kind and gentle, innocent and trusting,
Like children and lambs,
Never judging or vengeful
Like the judging and vengeful.
And now, let us pray,
Differently, yet together,
Before there is no earth, no life,
No chance for peace.
