Joan Borysenko: A Prayer

A Prayer


May Respect crowd out the weed of Violence

and Community spring from the ashes of Isolation.

May the stories of our grandmothers and grandfathers

once again nourish the growing souls of our children.


May we see the Divine in one another and in nature

that the Earth may be healed and all her children

have an abundance of food, freedom, loving-kindness

as we give willingly and with heartfelt joy to one another.


May the music of shared laughter replace cries of suffering

as the Great Tree of Peace takes root in every heart.

May we offer a renewed and resurrected World

to the Creator with infinite gratitude and thanksgiving.


Joan Zakon Borysenko
