Blessed One-ness,
We have raged
We have despaired
We have witnessed
We have fought
And now we know
The Bad Guys can lose
The Good Guys can win
And we can survive
And we can flourish.
We pray for
Life and Liberty
And The Pursuit of Happiness
We pray for a country
Where all people are created equal
We pray
For the strength to defy evil
For the spirit to live within God’s complex image
For the mind to imagine the possibilities.
Happy Fourth of July!
Amen
