Holy One
I am like this wandering cat
Who chose to try the wet cement
and left a witness of its impulsiveness
I think of all the places
where I have brought hurt instead of healing
anger instead of peace.
Show me where I can clean up the mess
that’s left behind
(even when it isn’t “mine”!)
May I see where I can change
where I can learn
so I can better serve you
And when I see the results
of generational pain
teach me a new way
of loving your people
Because of your love’s sake
Amen
