Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is religion.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com
.
A prayer for faith and love:
May we learn to undergo your love
And to accept your
mercy and your might.
And when we are
undone by coming night,
May your grace our
sinful spirits move.
May everything we do
be done for love.
May we manage lust as
best we might.
May the dark
communion of the night
Our hearts towards
charity and patience move.
May our anger be the
fruit of love,
And hatred be alone
of unjust might.
May we know the
beauty of the night
And let not fear of
death our joy remove.
May we love you well,
as well we might,
And thus move through
your day towards your good night.
