make me a sprinkler of joy
for little kids and those
in their second childhood
to run through on summer days.
make me a blanket of wonder
for families to use to make
angels on snow days from school.
make me a hose of justice
which the parched oppressed
may drink from when the powerful
turn their backs on them.
make me a faucet of grace
whose handle has broken off
so it flows through the lives
of the lonely and afraid
without ever subsiding.
make me a mist of hope
which covers those who
have climbed into that boat
which gently carries them
to the far shore where
love waits to welcome them.
