Prayer

Free me, with your love.
Grant me rest in mind.
Send me delight, when days are dark around me.
In fearful times show me a kind light.

Let me grow, and know to understand them
when others cause us pain.
Give me a sense of more than I am.
Make me love tears and smiles the same.

Seed me a mind of youth in old age.
Give me self-belief when I feel I can't cope.
Send pink scented winds to stroke me to rest
and give me strength when I only have hope.
