PRAYER

Joan Nilson

Lord, when my brother comes to me in pain,
Wounded by that sharp two-edged sword, the tongue,
When human sympathies have all proved vain,
And still with tattered pride his heart is hung—
Then show me how to speak to him that Word
Quicker and sharper than the two-edged sword.

Joan Nilson
