Humble gratitude and a plea

[cydira]

All that is holy and sacred
Bear witness to my simple words
Lend these weak puffs of breath strength
Let them carry about the land and over the waves

For my kith and kin
I am greatful
For my lover and life
I am greatful
For my neighbors and countrymen
I am greatful
For the people of the world
I am greatful

These lives are sacred
These lives are holy
For they are the children of Love

All that is holy and sacred
Bear witness to my simple words
Lend these weak puffs of breath strength
Let them carry about the land and over the waves

For my meat and drink
I am greatful
For my health and home
I am greatful
For my harvest and work
I am greatful
For my joys and sorrows
I am greatful

These things are sacred
These things are holy
For they are the substance of Life

All that is holy and sacred
Bear witness to my simple words
Lend these weak puffs of breath strength
Let them carry about the land and over the waves

For peace in the world
I pray
For peace in the hearts of men
I pray
For peace in the spirits of men
I pray
For justice for the slain, wronged, wounded, and slandered
I pray

These things are sacred
These things are holy
For they are the highest goals of Life and Love

Blessed be, may we all remember our dead and embrace our living
