to the poor,
a refuge to the needy in
their distress,
a shelter from the
rainstorm and a shade
from the heat." Isaiah 25:4
for those threatened
by a rip tide of evil
may we be the lifeguards
who grab their hands
pulling them to safety.
for all caught in the
daily, drenching downpour
of hateful and angry words,
may our compassion
be umbrellas wide enough
to shelter them.
for everyone baking in
the sweltering heat of
oppression and cruelty,
may our hearts for justice
offer the cool respite
they need, so that together
we may create communities
of kindness and tolerance.
