The Prayer of Protection
Written by James Dillet Freeman
The Light of God surrounds you.
The Love of God enfolds you.
The power of God protects you.
The Presence of God watches over you.
The Mind of God guides you.
The Life of God flows through you.
The Laws of God direct you.
The Peace of God abides within you.
The Joy of God uplifts you.
The Strength of God renews you.
The Beauty of God inspires you.
Wherever you are, God is!
And all is well. Amen.
80th Birthday Zen
There’s more to do,
and time to do it.
So far, so great.
Life is your playground.
Expect a joyful outcome.
Forget small, play big.
September Song
Late summer, early fall,
when old age arrives,
every body’s in the same boat.
Not so our hearts.
Eyes a little less clear,
can’t see what’s next,
but I’m quite at peace
in this cusp month,
eager to trade
history for mystery.
As in each and every month,
each and every day,
I am invited to give and forgive.
I like this.
Breathing in, I see
I am living in Grace.
Breathing out, I’m grateful.
