Morning Prayer ~
[My students liked this prayer before class:]
Father, we thank Thee for the night,
And for the blessed morning light.
For rest and food, and loving care,
And all that makes the world so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others, kind and good.
In all we do, in all we say,
To grow more loving every day.

Thinking back to Nine-Eleven ~
On September eleven
when it happened
while we watched
we could not help thinking about
our own thin brick walls
left standing around us
here, in the heartland.
Walled in between
panic and gratitude
we sat gaping,
not noticing
how our helpless tears
would not stop falling.
