Keep me open,
Keep me loving,
Keep me seeking,
Keep me peace-full,
Keep me from claiming my right(s)
From demanding my way…
Help me not to build a wall
To protect myself,
But rather in vulnerability
To extend my hand,
And, should it be refused
To try, and try again….
Save me from declaring
Anyone my enemy,
Help me instead to hear their story,
To understand their fear…
May I be grace-full,
Especially when I feel
Graceless,
When I go unseen,
Unheard,
Unaccepted,
And when I feel unacceptable,
Transform my groans
To a recreative prayer…
Keep me,
Help me,
Save me,
See me…
Eternal footsteps
