Poet’s Prayer

 

Guide my hand to write it right,

That I need not regret.

Guide mind’s eye to see the light,

That evil ne’er beget.

 

Guide my feet to find the path,

That I might find my soul.

Guide my mind to suffer wrath,

‘til joy might make me whole.

 

Guide my conscience to fight the cause,

That I might justify.

Guide my love to see through flaws,

That I might truth supply.

 

Guide my future and the now,

That I might new die cast.

Guide my dreams to show me how,

To cherish what has passed.

 

Guide my hand to write it right,

That I might fill a page.

Guide my hand to write it right,

With words that never age.
