I Pray
I pray that one day people will know truth as a friend
Not an affront to their senses but a pleasure to obtain,
A surprise as a gift that would otherwise go unnoticed.
I pray that one day people will truly know love
In all its passion and intimacy, warmth and wholeness,
A place and a person to be in, a dance in which to celebrate each
moment.
I pray that one day people will understand that dreams
Are the beginning of creation, joy and fulfillment
Manifesting themselves in actions propelled by the feeling
Of hope in God's love and blessings He provides,
Daily, hourly, moment by moment,
With every heartbeat and smile and tear
Cleansed by the wind of the love of a friend
That none have yet to find or hold like a fresh picked flower.
