Prayer (Photo credit: Boofalo Blues)
To all those that struggle
I wish relief
I wish you to overcome
To all those who mourn
I wish acceptance
I wish you calm
To all those that aspire
I wish you inspiration
I wish you a voice
To all those that believe
I wish you evidence
I wish you choice
To all those that are generous
I wish you recompense
I wish you gain
To all those that are loving
I wish you comfort
Freedom from pain
To all those that live sacrifice
I wish you honour
I wish you fame
And to those that must hold to hope
I wish you peace
that needs no name

Liberation, a sigh after struggle
Endurance, if through soggy tears
Seeking, and finding enough in contentedness
Not having, not knowing, yielding
Choosing to follow
To give without fear
Loving despite knowing pain
To follow in the footsteps of
The One who lived such a life by choice
Who gave Himself for me
Out of intense obsessive love for me
How very beautiful!! Thank you so much for replying with this lovely writing! 🙂

That’s a good wish list. Not very likely to ever come true, unfortunately, but certainly a noble sentiment.
