Bless this ground on which I step
May I learn from its strength
Bless this air in which I breathe
Even though there is a deep void today
May I learn from it how quickly
One can fill that void
with sustenance, good health and hope
Bless the calm waters
May I bask in their everlasting peace
Bless the sun
May I feel its warmth and love
Providing for all
Regardless of religion
or country-of-origin
Bless this earth
May I learn from it unity and support
How all of humanity is connected
By a single threat
nurtured by
Love
Hope &
Peace
May I learn from its strength
Bless this air in which I breathe
Even though there is a deep void today
May I learn from it how quickly
One can fill that void
with sustenance, good health and hope
Bless the calm waters
May I bask in their everlasting peace
Bless the sun
May I feel its warmth and love
Providing for all
Regardless of religion
or country-of-origin
Bless this earth
May I learn from it unity and support
How all of humanity is connected
By a single threat
nurtured by
Love
Hope &
Peace
