Give me peace
When I stood among my enemies and balled my fist to strike
I prayed for a moment of clarity, I prayed for peace. When my love tore herself from my embrace and ran into the night I prayed for a moment of clarity and I prayed for peace. As my daughter struggled to breath, her body corrupted with alcohol and drugs I prayed for a moment of clarity and I prayed for peace. My father struggled to find the words to tell me he missed me and held my hand, his cancer taking his energy and life away.. I prayed for clarity and understanding and I prayed for peace.. I read the words of my brother, sitting on his helmet clutching his rifle as bullets pierced the helicopter he flew over Iraq making notes and swallowing fear. I asked for clarity and I asked for grace...and I hoped and prayed for peace.. Before I die, before I take my own last breath, I only hope that one day, as the world we know crashes down at our feet, that somehow we have our moment of clarity... and we enjoy just a few moments....of a world that someday will know peace......
