The Prayer of a Writer~

Lord of all things, whose wondrous gifts to man

Include the shining symbols known as words,

Grant that I may use their mighty power

Only for good. Help me pass on

Small fragments of your wisdom, truth, and love.

Teach me to touch the unseen, lonely heart

With laughter, or the quick release of tears.

Let me portray the courage that endures

Defiant in the face of pain or death;

The kindness and the gentleness of those

Who fight against the anger of the world;

The beauty hidden in the smallest things;

The mystery, the wonder of it all...

Open my ears, my eyes; unlock my heart.

Speak through me, Lord if it be your will. Amen
