Pray for a world where every child
finds welcome in a sheltered place,
where love is tender, undefiled
and firmness intertwines with grace.
Pray for a wold where passion's fire
burns not in force or careless lust,
where God's good gift of deep desire
is safe in arms of faith and trust.
Pray for a nation just and fair
that seeks the welfare of us all,
where leaders guide with prudent care
and nurture life for great and small.
Pray for a world where all have voice
and none will batter, rape, abuse.
Till then, may all have rightful choice
and pray for wisdom as they choose.
(Ruth C Duck (b.1947)
