Children of Light

When the skies are dark and the storm approaches,
When the report is not good and pain awaits,
When joy is crushed under the weight of grief,
When life becomes the repetition of irrelevance,

May the touch of a friend, the song of a bird,
the beauty of a sunrise, the laughter of a child,
the silence of a wordless prayer
sustain me with hope.

In my joy and in my sorrow,
In all that succeeds and all that fails,
In moments of remembering and moments of regretting,
In the light of a glorious sunset that enflames the
world with breathtaking beauty,

May I remember that everything is temporary, all is sacred,
nothing can separate me from your love,
I am a unique gift to a good creation.
I matter. You matter. We are children of Light.

Amen
