June 25th

"As the eyes of servants look
    to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid
   to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
   until he has mercy upon us."  Psalm 123:2

when we do not 
see your hands placing
the food in front of us,
when we do not 
notice your eyes weeping
when people are abused
by those who should 
be loving them,
when we do not 
watch your feet marching
beside those who are going
down to government offices
to speak out for the ones
whose voices are so easily
discounted, simply because
they have no power,
have mercy on us,
have mercy on us.
