A Prayer For Peace

September 25, 2020 by Nathaniel Sewell Leave a Comment

As those that know me best can attest, I have a nasty temper that shields my soft heart. I know I have a poets heart, I’m genuinely all gooey on the inside.

I wrote this poem in a prayer form as a meditation. I hope the words convey the sentiment.

I pray we can all seek peace over violence.

If I give my heart without expectations, 

I give my heart seeking peace and understanding,

If I share kindness without reservation,

I share kindness, seeking peace and understanding,

If I offer grace in the presence of evil,

I offer grace, seeking peace and understanding,

If I unclench my fist and relax my jaw,

I unclench my fist, seeking peace and understanding,

If I stop to listen to words, I don’t want to hear,

I stop to listen, seeking peace and understanding,

If I break-bread with my supposed enemy,

I break-bread seeking peace and understanding,

If I cede a modest amount of ground for an equitable view,

I cede the ground seeking peace and understanding, 

If I sow color-blind friendship seeds deep within my soul for unborn generations,

I sow color-blind friendship seeds deep within my soul, seeking peace and understanding,

If I accept life’s imperfections as a journey I’ll never fully understand,

I accept peace and understanding into my heart,

If I bequeath only love after my mortal body transforms into a dusty memory,

I bequeathed my hope and last prayer for universal peace and understanding. 

Hugs.
