A Prayer for the Ordinary

A Prayer for the Ordinary

In this great heavy time,
We have faced trials only our ancestors long passed could know,
We have had great worry laid upon our chests,
with the turning of the clock,
Forward
Into another year,
Let us find peace,
And make peace with the days that have passed,
Let our expectations be as much as we can bear,
And yet our hope for the future ever growing,
In this year,
Let us see life with eyes brand new,
With an appreciation from the trials faced,
Of the new day, of a baby’s breath, of the privilege of monotony
Let us celebrate spirit when the ordinary occurs,
For oh do we know
The grief of lost normalcy,
Let us be joyous
For it is a new day,
Joyous,
For this now is our time,

Spirit as we awaken
To the renewed beauty and gift that is life,
May we find comfort and protection,
From the world’s great unknowns,
And knowledge that in our struggles
We are not alone.
