PRAYER TO A NON-EXISTENT GOD-a poem [Sun, 2-25-18]


CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter…

O God, help me this day
To be a better person

To be more sensitive, kind, and caring
To “knit up the raveled sleeve of care”

To divvy up the coffee spoons
With insight to those who thirst the most

To wade into the fray, to guard the back
Of the helpless and the hopeless

To love the beauty of the trees
And melodies and jolly flutterbys

To move and pray with grace
Of form and thought and memory

And if it is true that you do not exist
Or simply do not give a neutron

And thus cannot help me
To be a better person

At least help me find someone
Who will
