for we have had more than enough of contempt." Psalm 123:3
when we have all
the grudges our souls
can ever hold, show us
how to compost them
into gardens of grace.
when we have had
our fill of hate towards other,
plant seeds of love
deep within us, so they
might become bouquets
of welcome rather than
arrangements at funerals.
when others would show
us the path through the
quicksand of contempt,
take us by the hand
to the detour compassion offers.
