MY GAY PRAYER

AllThings, great and small,
adored by thy many places and names;
we are thankful to all who came before,
providing systems of nuture,
'daily bread,' past, present and future,
sacrifice and defense to serve,
protect, and lead us not to extinction: the
deception of intolerance, viewing diversity
as 'offense' and 'trespass' again, though
we walk in the 'shadow' of that history, we
strive to teach the ways of acceptance and
forgiveness;
PeaceOnEarth will come, together we make
'heavens' and 'earths' as one, faith in
each other be our PRIDE as thy power and glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
