January 20th

"My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, 
    and all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever." Psalm 145:21

may this be the day
we proclaim that compassion 
continues to build neighborhoods.
may this be the day
we speak of the justice which will endure
despite every attempt to demean others
and to despise their dreams.
may this be the day
we sing of that love which will not
be pushed out of the way
by the mongers of hate.
may this be the day
we remind the forgotten that
they will never be alone.
may this be the day
we sing of the grace which God
continues to pour out upon all
whose wells of hope have run dry.
may this be the day.
