the Lord is the upholder of my life." Psalm 54:4
when the voices around me
urge me not to open my mouth,
give me the words (especially
yours) which need to be spoken.
when it would be easier
to step away and simply sit down,
press your hand against my back
so i can stand up to the bullies.
when i am knocked down
and afraid to get back up
may i feel you pulling me
to my feet, reminding me that
none of us is alone as we
continue this pilgrimage
with faith, grace, hope, love,
justice, inclusion, and mercy.
