Prayer

Dear Creator,

Please fill my heart with love and thankfulness

The fool knows not what is for good for her

May my every breath nurture and relax my body and soul

That the eyes and mind can appreciate the beauty around

May the thread of hope remain forever strong

Render powerless the corrosive fear and negativity

Shower your kindness as the rain on trees

Rejuvenating the dormant branch with a verdant leaf-bud

Let the sign of life persist and grow

With the protection of a prayer inside my heart.
