A Prayer
"I hope you meet people who understand you,"
the kind lady thought to herself,
releasing a prayer
as she passed a young troubled fellow on the road.
What a beautiful prayer, I thought to myself when the kind lady related it on a youtube program.
I have now adopted it as my own.
"May you meet people who understand you."
A prayer is a gift,
easily given and readily received.
A prayer is a mantra,
we repeat, we supplicate, we release the words, the thoughts, the feelings, the hopes,
ceaseless hopes,
amen.

A beautiful poem, Hélène! I liked the mantra - "May you meet people who understand you." We all need to be understood by someone to feel considerate, respectful and alive.
Thank you.
