[Written for the Sentinel]

A Prayer

Give me the understanding love which sees
Beneath distorting trick of word and deed
The heart that yearns for God.
Help me remember how when sin and pain
Have seemed so very real, I too
Have let discordant word and thought
Strike even those I love; and so,
Remembering,
May I reflect what truth has brought to me,
And see so clearly but the child of God,
Who reaches out eternally for good,
That I myself may bless someone in need,
As even I by others have been blessed!
