Prayer for All of Us
by
Arlene Gay Levine

Do not squander this day.
Make every moment a marker
on your marathon toward kindness.

Ride the wings of wonder.
Surf waves of sorrow
same as joy.

Open the floodgates of gratitude.
Fan the flames of your faith so high
that bowing your head in humility

for the gift of life is
the only motion that matters,
now and forevermore.
