SPIRIT OF TOMORROW






Spirit of Yesterday
In the realm of our humanness
we beg forgiveness
For we have slaughtered
the innocent and pure
blindsided by hatred and anger.

Spirit of Hope
From the conception
Of our thoughts and ideas
teach us how to listen as we pray
That we may know
which song to sing.

Spirit of Understanding
By means of love
Bring images of peace.
Align and penetrate deeply
the hearts of those
with conflicting emotions.

Spirit of Healing
Make all things bearable
Comfort and quiet
the souls of the weary
let each be filled with peace
and the stillness of tranquility.

Spirit of Love
In your hand we place our hearts
With a smile
Inward and outward
Facing the world
With caring and gentleness.

Spirit of Tomorrow
we offer praise and thanksgiving
for today
we find ourselves clothed
in your sacred holiness
filled with reverence and humility.
