Being gives wisdom and courage, and the kin-dom of blessing!
To the aching and sad, grieving losses beyond our control,
Being gives agency and tears, and the comfort of hope!
To the meek, the willing, the responsive, the servant,
Being gives dust, earth, a low and holy place for kneeling!
To the ravenous, fasting for truth, hungry for justice,
Being gives vision, resilience and the promises of God!
To the compassionate and bold, merciful in spite of the odds,
Being gives wonder, awe and the eternity that is love!
Let this light shine, refracted through weeping,
Brightened by the love of friends, made sweet and true
Only by grace, and power revealed in weakness and peace.
